Dilek was a great host and gave us good advice about our stay in Istanbul. The apartment is located really close to Taksim with lots of places to eat. It's easy to get to the big sights like Hagia Sofia/Blue Mosque/Ayasofia Hamam... in fact if you enjoy like walking like us you can make your way on foot in 40 mins (or by metro in much less). Very good value place to stay.
