Location is wonderful only 1 min. from Istiklal and 5 min from Taksim square. You can find all utensil and spices for cooking. The apartment is clean and big. There aren't independent entrance. The stairs is very narrow ( the apartment on the 3 floor) it will be uncomfortable if you have a big luggage. For me was a big problem a bad sound insulation. I heard all what happened in the apartment on the up floor. Neighbors from above did not sleep ( it's look like), they constantly walked, talked, laughed and this could go on until the very morning. If poor sound insulation is not a problem for you, then I recommend this apartment.
