The apartment has a view better than what you can see in the pictures worth every penny..... the apartment is ok (water internet kitchen etc all good). The location is good (really 2 blocks from Taksim Square) nite, however, that the 2 blocks are truly uphill. After you are up all is good and the way back is much easier. Neighborhood feels safe and the convenience store half way up has anything you need. All in all a very good experience!!!!
