We just returned from a 5 night stay in Tao's apartment and to be honest we could not fault our stay. The place was very clean and had everything you need for a cosy stay it was like home from home The street has loads for craft and antique shops, great cafe next door and lovely restaurant opposite. It is within 10 minute walking distance to Taksim square which has loads for shops, bars and restaurants. Despite the hustle and bustle of the city the apartment is located on a quiet street which is welcomed after a day visiting the hot spots. Tao is also very helpful and responsive and provided us with plenty of information and recommendations. do not miss the Cukurcuma Hamamm which is 50 metres from the apartment, you will not be disappointed but I would advise to book a couple of days in advance. overall I would highly recommend Tao's place for location, cleanliness, amazing decor and comfort. Could not fault it!!👍
