First of all, place is same as on the photos. Erhan ( I thought it was Ümit:) ) is great host. He provides you what you need. Street is silent as it is in the center of the İstanbul. Apartment was so clean. All suppliers was working. But if you want to cook more complicated meals it will take time as there is no gas at all. You will use electric supplies. 2 minutes to the Taksim and it close to other parts of İstanbul as well (20-30 min walking +tram). It's 5th floor and there is no elevator so be ready to doing kind of sport. At all he gets 5 star from me. I will stay there during my next travel as well.
