The apartment is located perfectly, in a lane right off Istiklal Street. Aside from the plethora of eating, drinking, cafe, shopping options on Istiklal street, there are two great restaurants right next to the apartment. Also, walk right after getting on Istiklal from the lane and you'll end up at Taksim square in a bit. The space itself is clean, with all necessary amenities. Great host who gives you helpful tips. Bear in mind, it's four floors up (Which also means the view from the living room and the attached balcony is decent) though there's an elevator to deal with some of the climb.
