it is walking distance (about 5-7 mins) from the location the Havabus brought us @ Taksim Square. the locals are very friendly. we asked around & they showed us the direction to the apartment. we bought our SIM card at a cellphone shop near the apartment. it is conveniently located so there were restaurants / convenient stores / taxis nearby. accommodation was clean. very impressed with their 24/7 help desk & warm hospitality
