The apartment is located just few seconds from Istiklal street and ~5 minutes walking from Taksim square, which I guess is the greatest location. Murat showed his best hospitality and was very polite and friendly. He also owns the restaurant downstairs, so he's always there if you need any help. The apartment was clean and very cosy, it has everything you need - electric kettle, hair dryer, towels, dishes... I would definitely recommend it and in case I come back to Istanbul someday I would stay in this apartment again since it was really really nice.
