We had two great days at this apartment. Everything is brand new and super clean. Nida is a great host. She was very responsive and helpful in pointing out all the beautiful things around Istanbul. This property is part of a long term stay hotel. Everything about it is beautiful. It is just a short 5 min (albeit slightly uphill) walk to Istiklal. Cabs are easily available to take you on a 10 min ride to the Sultan Ahmet Square (for about 12 liras). We would definitely stay here again.
