The property was very nice and in the end quite easy to find. We took the shuttle bus from the airport to Taksim square and followed IIker's directions without any problems.

The host was very nice and met us at the property. The location of the flat is a far cry from the nicest areas of Istanbul and to get there from the city centre you have to walk through a dark underpass, which I would not recommend for women travelling alone.

There is also a cooking course offered for Turkish cuisine very close to the flat, which we did not have time to do, but you should definitely take a look at.
