Location is perfect, easy access to the major highlights of Istanbul. The quality of the apartment is reasonable / but you may expect that downtown Taksim. The noise from the bar below is terrible (!) and certainly able to keep you awake until 03.00 - totally not adequate . unless you party yourselves until 3 AM.... The metals stairs will than wake you up again at 07.00 when other guests arrive ( or leave ) or the light on the hall way .. on my complaint the answer was very kind : I can bring you some cotton for you ears...(!) ...Reason for me to leave early and NOT finish my stay! and if you think after reading thos ...well...think again.....it's really that (!!) noisy !!
