The location of this apartment is great! It is located within 10 min walk to Istaklal street, 10-15 min walk to Taksim square, and seconds to Cihangir, the best neighborhood in Istanbul. There are several excellent coffee shops within 2-3 blocks (Kronotrop, Brew Lab) and cafes/restaurants (the Post Office cafe, Journeys, Smyrna). The apartment is nice and cozy, basically a studio with a kitchenette and a small bathroom. I was met in front of the apartment and didn't have any problems checking in.
