Tayfun's apartment is located across from a small convenient store with another close by which was a great help to us. It was a short distance to get from the location to the hustle and bustle of Taksim. This is situated across the street from a mosque, so be prepared for the call to prayer quite early in the mornings. The apartment was spacious and true to description. The best thing about this place was Elmaz. She lives on the floor below and her hospitality was unreal. Upon arrival, she brought us food and tea. She is a true gem and made our stay even better! Check in was a bit confusing, but the rest of our stay went smoothly.
