We had a great time staying in this apartment for a week. The location is perfect, from here we manage to get to all sightseeing locations and enjoy evening time in Taksim. Also important that the place is just few meters away from İstiklal so you don't have to wonder around small streets. In the evening we could hear the music from down stairs bars quite well but it is to be expected in such crowded area and it didn't disturb us. The apartment it self is clean and cosy. Lots of windows so the apartment is bright (and that's a hard thing to find in Istanbul) and sitting in the terrace was lovely. All in all we had a lovely stay.
