I recently stayed in the apartment and it had some downsides. The shower head was broken, so it was difficult to take a shower without getting water all over the bathroom. The toilet door also did not close properly, which made it hard to have privacy while using the bathroom. Additionally, the heaters were provided, but sometimes they were not warm enough, which made it difficult to stay comfortable sometimes . On the positive side, the apartment was spacious and well-appointed with all of the amenities I needed for a comfortable stay. The location was also great and close to all of the shops and restaurants of Taksim . Despite these downsides, I still had a pleasant stay, but I would recommend this apartment for short stays, and for people that can overlook those small issues. Overall the owner was very helpful and he let us extend the stay when we needed to which is much appreciated.
