The apartment is very well located near Taksim Square. It is on the sixth and top floor. There is an elevator but it was not working for two days during our stay. The apartment is very clean and well equipped. You have everything you need, including washing machine and dryer. The view is really great, you can see the Bosphorus Bridge. Since you live on the top floor, you don't hear any neighbors either. There is only some street noise, but Istanbul is a big city, so we expected that and it didn't bother us that much. Missy responded quickly to all of our inquiries. It was a great stay in Istanbul and I can highly recommend this apartment.
