Great place in Taksim. Very close to Istikal Street for all the dining, bars, shops, etc., but removed from all the noise so very quiet. Excellent view of Galata Tower, close to the tram, actually Sultanahmet is not a bad walk from the flat. Alexis keeps the place very clean, bathroom is very nice. Although my girlfriend and I did not make use of the kitchen, everything is available should you want to prepare your own meals. A great coffee shop with delicious food is 25 meters from the doorstep.
