The apartment is in a good place, very near to Taxim square. However, it's not noisy during the night. The place is nice, except the kitchen is not suitable for preparing any serious meals. Nevertheless, Farzin is a very responsive host who will help you with anything. We are very grateful that he arranged everything to let us check in in the middle of the night. He speaks English, which is rare and very useful in Istanbul. I would recommend this apartment to anyone who needs a quiet, clean, and good location near Taxim.
