I had a REALLY great stay. Check in was great, quick and Faith was very accommodating. The apartment is just as it looks in the pictures. Having been to Istanbul before I knew exactly where the apartment was from the photos of Taksim Square and really, there isn't a better location if you want to explore this part of Istanbul. The apartment was a little noisy from the street, but this was not a negative, it added to the overall experience. There are lots of very nice restaurants close by, and nightlife is at the doorstep. I brought my own toiletries but there were plenty supplied if you didn't. I had a great stay and will definitely return on my next visit to Istanbul.
