Dev's gorgeously decorated apartment is situated in an amazing location, close by to Taksim Square and within walking distance from the tram and metro station. The apartment is homely and Dev provides a great list of information and well chosen recommendations. Her kitchen is well equipped for self-catering and the bedrooms are very comfortable. The flat is very secure and safe. Dev made us feel welcome upon arrival and then left us to explore the city and enjoy the flat. While the flat is on the ground floor and doesn't require stairs to access, those with knee problems may find the steep slope of the street a challenge. I'm not sure that steep slopes can be avoided in Istanbul though. Overall, a lovely homely place to stay with a great host.
