The place was in the heart of the taksim square ( 2 minute walk). The easiest way to get from the airport to the apartment is to stop at taksim square and walk in, easier than going through the neighbourhood and the taxi scam you.
There’s a shop in the bottom of the building, also few small businesses restaurants/ cafe which provides breakfast ( such as cheese doughs) or if you want meat ( dinner) then it’s next to each other.
Istiqlal street 3 minutes walk where u can do all your shopping/ cafes/ historical places.
Metro/ buss line and taxis are all within 2 minute’s walking distance.
The house is warm and the hot water is available all the time.
At night the area is quite so u can sleep well. Also the mattress is super comfy.
Enes was amazing host, he gave me a good instruction and recommendations. Also he was always available as his office just under the apartment in same building.
If I’m going back to Istanbul one day, definitely i will book this apartment.
