Great apartment in the heart of living district of Istanbul. Make sure your taxi driver knows the address as we had trouble finding it with our taxi driver who didn't have satnav! It is an easy 10 minute walk into Taksim Square or to places to eat. It is in a busy street so don't expect peace and quiet all of the time , we had no problem sleeping and didn't mind the buzz of the activity in the street as it is all part of staying somewhere local. The apartment itself is up 2 flights of stairs (again didn't bother us but something to be mindful of). It is spacious, lovely and clean and has AC. Helen the host is brilliant and is really helpful and lives on site.
