We had a great stay at Istanberry Flats.

The flat was spotlessly clean, and we were upgraded from a one room flat to one which had a sitting room (second bedroom) and kitchen.

These flats are really well situated, there are great shops and restaurants within a 5 minute walk to the south towards Istiklal Street, and no more than 10 minutes from Taksim square.

The nearest bus stop is on Tarlabasi boulevard only 100 yards away, and No 74 bus takes you direct to Karakoy and Eminonu, which is much easier and quicker than taking metro from Taksim.

We booked on Saturday afternoon for Saturday night, as our travel plans had changed, and Guner and Guven couldn't have been more helpful, even though we didn't arrive until after 11 pm, due to flight delays.

The property is situated on a secondary road, and there is a fair amount of vehicular passing traffic. However the property is well insulated, and on the second floor we had very peaceful quiet nights, even though the property is so central.
