This is the perfect location if you are looking to experience Taksim area if Istanbul. It is a 10 minute walk to Taksim and 5 minute walk to Dolmabache Palace on the Bosforace which is a definite must see. The apartment is a fully furnished two bedroom in a great neighborhood. You should be prepared to carry luggage from the street to the house and then a couple of upstairs in the apartment. This however was a small inconvenience for the great benefits we got from the location and the neighborhood. There is a Otocar that is very convenient is you are renting a car. The apartment has a washing machine and air conditioning which were important for a four day stay. A couple of small markets for groceries and restaurants within walking distance. Our host Asim was responsive to our needs and was very quick to return our calls. We recommend using WhatsApp to communicate as it worked well for us. Highly recommend!
