We had a 2 week stay in the flat. The stay was comfortable and the amenities were useful, especially the washing machine. There are lots of little shops nearby to stock up on drinks and snacks, while Cafe Berry is a good option for a quick breakfast before exploring for the day. The flat is close to Istaklal street and a 10 minute walk from Taksim Metro Station.
The area is very active at all hours and one can almost always find a bite to eat and a drink at one of the many bars that are in the streets that run parallel to Istaklal up to Taksim Square.
The 24/7 front desk was extremely helpful when it came to organising airport transfers late at night or early morning. The staff are friendly and willing to help.
Access to surrounding areas is easy when going through Taksim Metro as it has connections to the ferry station and the tramline that goes to Sultanhamet.
We hope you enjoy the stay as much as we did. If we come through Istanbul again, we will be back!
