The location is fantastic, my bf and I would go out to crowded places like Taksim square just by walking or sisane and galata tower by metro in 5mins and many other touristic locations and what I enjoyed most is how the house is so close to these places yet when you arrive to the neighborhood, it is all calm and peaceful and easy for us to rest well. Everything was provided in the apartment and the grocery store is just a minute walk from the house. We enjoyed our stay so much and will definitely rent it again when we return to Istanbul thus I highly recommend it!
