Apartment was clean and comfortable to stay but the highlight was the amazing host, Sharzad! Wish we could go out with her but time didn't allow it. Tap water is not drinkable so she even arranged packed water for all guests.
Location has some nice cafes within walking distance but Taksim was about 1km walk away, you can walk but rather easy to take a cab.
Only con was that internet speed was really slow.
Would highly recommend.
