The unit is awesome. I love it. Its like 5 to 10 mins walk to taksim sq and around the same to walk to istiklal.
There is a shop by the corner of the house sells water and simple snacks.
Outside and entrance of the apartment seems under construction, but once u reach the entrance to the aparment its good.
It has lift.. not a big one but wont give u hassle to bring your luggage up. Safety wise seems good, there is a key password before going into the building..
I wished i stayed here earlier when i arrived istanbul, instead i stayed just before i i had to take my flight..
Really worth it for the price.. i enjoyed my stay..
