It's a beautiful loft perfectly located in the heart of Taksim, but at the same time very quiet as it's on a high floor. The view from the small terrace on top is stunning (360 degrees). Pinar made everything easy, full instruction, early welcome at the apartment and tour of the place. It's perfectly clean and super cozy. The place is decorated with taste (even more than that, a real designer place), speakers for your music, kitchen ustensiles, but anyway very nice restaurants all around (just don't stop in the tourist traps, easy to spot as they ask you loudly to come inside their empty place with a menu in 5-6 languages...).

Metro, Tram, Funicular are all very close to the place (recommendation: visit the modern art museum).

The only drawback of Pinar's place is that it is so nice and comfortable that you don't even feel like visiting Istanbul :-).
