This is a separate apartment in a block of similar apartments available for rent, almost like a small hotel with own lobby/reception and a person in attendance 24/7, so it was very easy checking in and out. The person greeting us was extremely friendly and helpful and immediately made us feel like home. It is on a quiet street just off Taksim square, but you may hear Azan from nearby mosque (arguable part of Istanbul experience!). The apartment itself was very clean, newly refurbished and fully equipped with anything you would need to make a brew/coffee and even to fry some eggs in the morning. Hotel-like daily cleaning was very welcome. There was even a small fridge with freezer. It had conditioning but we did not really need it in the beginning of June. Two TVs in the reception/kitchen and bedroom. Internet signal was strong and stable throughout. The bed was extremely comfy and we had very good sleep! It is a stone's throw away from Taksim and walkable to main attractions such as Istiklal, Galata, etc. and good transport links to the airport (Havabus service to/from Taksim 5 min walk away) and other places (metro, tram, bus/dolmush to almost anywhere). All in all, we thought this was great for a couple or even three people. We would absolutely want to come back and stay here again! I would unreservedly recommend it to anyone!
