Taygun's apartment is stylish, cosy and comfortable. There is plenty of room and the great view over the Bosphorus makes for a very pleasant stay. The apartment is located less than 10 minutes' walk from the nearest T1 tram stop, from where it's only three stops to Eminönü and the ferry terminals. There are several flights of steps on this route, but I didn't find them difficult. You can always walk down from Taksim Square if you prefer an easier but longer walk. Taygun is a friendly and well-organised host. The directions provided to locate the address are very good, but even so it can be a bit hard to find if you arrive after dark. The small spiral staircase inside the building could also be a challenge if you have lots of luggage, so pack light. If you can, call into Jupiter's (next to the Film Academy) for a coffee while you are there.
