Self- check in was smooth with the help of Murat. The apartment is situated about 10 mins walk from the centre of Taksim Square on a very steep downward slope. Taksim Metro is also a walkable distance away. There are many small shops and cafes around the area.
Do not it is situated on a very steep slope so might not be suitable if you intend to walk there with your luggages or for those that are
not fit. We use the hospital which is just opposite the apartment, as a landmark when telling taxi drivers where to go since some of them were unsure where the apartment is when we showed them the address.
It was a good exercise walking up the slope every morning to Taksim. But just take a cab for convenience.
