The apartment is very well situated to access activities leading up to Taksim square and over the Galata Bridge to the old city. Having said this Istanbul is very hilly and this coupled with the heat makes for strenuous outings. Location is also close to supermarket and variety of restaurant options and on reflection after six days in Istanbul we could not have picked a more central location for our requirements. The apartment is very comfortable and as advertised and Sila was quick to respond to any queries and most accommodating such as assisting with luggage storage. Would not hesitate in recommending this apartment to other visitors to Istanbul.
