We had a lovely stay here. The apartment is as described and looks just like the photos. The apartment is comfortable and quiet and has everything you need for an enjoyable stay including cooking facilities and a washing machine and dryer. It is on a steep slope, (Istanbul is a hilly city) but there is a short down-hill walk to the tram stop and buses. The apartment is in a good location very near to Taksim square and also within walking distance of the new Galataport development.
