Lovely apartment to stay in Taksim! Great communication from Handan and his friend Onur. Only issue was when I didn't have roaming/data and I could only reach them for the check in by asking the hotel next door to call for me. But this should be very smooth if you don't have that issue, Onur arrived within a minute of the call!
Super cute and clean apartment, a couple mins walk from Taksim Square. To/from the airport buses it's about 5 mins walk, up a fairly steep, but short hill on the way to the bus if you go the back way. Lots of restaurants and bars within 5 mins walk. Over quite a busy road which some people may not like, but it means staying on the quieter side, which we much preferred.
Just as in pictures/described. Apartment has aircon which was great. And Onur was happy to let me use the washing machine/dryer which was much appreciated as well!
Overall, would definitely recommend staying here.
