Incredible location! Minutes away from Taksim square and all the important historical attractions in Istanbul. Restaurants, convenience stores, and shops all within walking distance. Very safe area. Very beautiful unit. Extremely spacious for a 1 bedroom. Definitely bring ear plugs if you're a light sleeper as the bar downstairs plays loud music and people will be outside the bar cheering and being loud till very late at night (one night until 6am!). That was my only complaint everything else was perfect about this unit. And they welcomed me with wine and snacks. No need for your own netflix credentials as they offer nextflix too. Very charming unit, very amazing hosts, and I cant wait to return soon!
