The apt is wonderful. The location is great, very close to taksim, but far enough away to be authentic. We really enjoyed the space and have already planned our return. The apt is warm and minimalistic, which we like. It's not cluttered with furniture and bits like many, but space for you to put out your own belongings. Having said that there are all the amenities you need. Only downside is there is no lift, if you have a lot of luggage or you can't do stairs it can be hard. Not enough to deter us :)
