The Babel's place has a great location, very close to Istiklal street and Taksim square. Easily accessible by metro or tram. There are many cafes and restaurants in the nearby area. The apartment looks better in the photos than in real life, nothing was broken, but you could see the signs of regular wear and tear. We had occasional issues with wifi, but eventually, the staff helped us fix it. The most negative experience about babel was that the hot water system did not work for a couple of days, but they got it fixed on the third day. The staff was in general very friendly and easily accessible. Overall, I would recommend staying here, regardless of some drawbacks, I still had the most wonderful vacation.
