Tarik's apartments has top location. Cihangir district is easy to reach from Taksim (10 minutes walk to Havabus from/to airport), there are many cafes, different kind of eateries, supermarkets (one next door). The main advantage - it's very quiet inside the flat which is rare for Istanbul. We slept very well. Tarik is a truly hospitable host. I recommend his apartment with great pleasure.
