The apartment has an amazing view, an 180 degrees of unobstructed view from the Asian side to the European side of Istanbul. The apartment is located at ten minutes walk from Taksim Square. The check in and the check out were very smooth. There are two decent size bedrooms, a nicely appointed kitchen, a decent size bathroom with a washer. There is a bit of construction going on in the balcony side, but the bedrooms are on the opposite side and they are quiet. The apartment is on the third floor with no elevator so keep this in mind if someone in your party is not able to climb stairs. Simay was very nice and she helped us to get a cab for our return to the airport. Istanbul is not a safe city so please read as much as possible about how to deal with the safety issues.
