Truly a great apartment, it looked better in person than in pictures. Great location as it was close to Taksim Square and the famous street ( Istanbul has quite a lot of steep hills and therefore just be aware of this and wear good footwear). Was very easy to get to places. I would highly recommend getting the Istanbulkart and you can use public transport ( 2/3 mins walk to bus stop that takes you to the other side I.e Haya Sophia, Blue mosque etc). Erkut was a great host and he really accommodated to us even though we checked in really late due to our flight. Super easy!
