We loved everything about Hande's apartment. First of all i have to say photos don't do justice to it, since the apartment is much more better looking in real life and it is very spacious and has everything you will need for short term or long term stay.
Location is perfect, just couple of minutes on foot to Taksim square where you can catch metro, buses, tram to other parts of town or a bus that goes directly to the airport.
There are a lot of shops, food stands/shops and everything you will need for a stay in minutes of walking distance from the apartment. Istiklal street is also only 5 minutes on foot from the apartment.
Hande was very easy to communicate and her friend was there to welcome us although we were running a bit late. He was very nice and explained us everything and introduced us to Berlin.Berlin is a lovely cat.
Definitely would recommend this apartment!
