Great apartments overall! It's close to famous Taksim square, Istiklal street from one side and Galataport from another. With transport options around it's pretty easy to reach any place you want. Apartments have everything you need, for longer stay even, and can accommodate few more guests besides you. The only thing to notice is noise isolation (it seems like a common issue for Istanbul), you may hear neighbours walking out or watching tv. Hande and her family are wonderful hosts, always in touch and ready to help. Definitely recommend!
