This apartment does not disappoint! I stayed here with my boyfriend in mid Feburary, and we were very happy. The location is fantastic. It's a ten minute walk from Taksim Square, with easy access to coaches to and from the airport, not to mention all the sights of the city, and situated in arguably the best part of Istanbul for restaurants, cafes and shopping. Though the neighborhood is bustling, the apartment itself in located in a small, charming sidestreet so it's incredibly quiet. It's on the 6th floor (there's an elevator in the building, which is great) and the balcony views are gorgeous. The apartment is very large and spacious, and comfortably furnished with everything we needed. Aras was a perfect host, helpful and informative. Without hesitation, I will be staying here again my next time in Instanbul.
