This is a very nice apartment in an old house in a quiet historic residential district - gives you the true feeling of Istanbul! A nicely equipped kitchen/living room is well separated from the bedroom. The Istiklal street with cafes and bars is just five minutes away, and yet you are not in the "tourist" area. Taksim and Shishane metro and funicular stations are each 15-20 minutes away, and you can easily walk downhill all the way to the piers of Karakoy and the Galata bridge. The owners are very friendly and fast to respond. Highly recommended!
