The apartment is perfectly located in a very quiet street, just 5 min walk from busyness of Taksim. I was also walking from there to the Old Town, Galata tower and Ortakoy. The apartment is very clean. It has everything you need for a stay: comfortable bed, washing machine, well equipped kitchen. Check-in was great. The entrance building needs a code to get in and there is a lock box by the door with a code as well. So you do not need to carry the key with you when you go out- very convenient. When I am back to Istanbul I definitely stay in this property as well.
