It was very clean and very beautiful place , it was a historical building and the host is very nice . The apartment is in Cihangir which is a great neighborhood in Istanbul. Taksim Square and Taksim Metro station are really close. The ferry boat station is really close too. The only issue we have is that there was no elevator and it was really hard for us to take our luggages upstairs , Also if your tall it might be a challenge to shower.
