Cristina's apartment looks exactly how the photos show it. It is furnished with immaculate taste and quality items, and it is perfectly clean and in excellent condition. It is equipped perfectly with everything you may need even for a week or even longer stay. It is perfect value for its offered price!
Only downside is that there is a pretty steep slope you need to walk upwards to reach Taksim square so keep it in mind when choosing it - not for elderly! But if you walk downwards on a much comfortable slope, the sea shore with a tram line can be reached easily in a few minutes.
Also do not be surprised that the neighbourhood is pretty modest compared to the streets on the other side of Taksim square. But it is friendly, filled with lot of little grocery shops that are open during late night too which is a big plus. Overall it is a great place close to Taksim for its price , we were absolutely satisfied with what we got for our money.
