Comfortable, big apartment for two people with great location to restaurants, nightlife and Taksim Square. 12 minute walk up a big hill from public transit to Hagia Sophia and Blue Mosque, which were about 20 Min away. We had trouble with the front door to the building and had to wrestle with it every time we came home, however we enjoyed our stay and the location. Buses run to and from the IST airport every 20 minutes from Taksim Square for only $3. The host was very responsive and met us for an in-person check-in.
