I would highly recommend this flat as it was perfect for our trip to Istanbul. It was clean, good size for our group, looked as if it was recently renovated, had comfortable beds, and was in a great location that is close walking distance to Taksim and other parts of the city. I would also recommend this flat to anyone staying in Istanbul who wants to be in the central part of the city but on a quieter side street that is not so loud as parts of Taksim can be really loud. So, this flat was the best of both worlds being close to the action but quiet for when we wanted to relax. The hosts had great communication with us for our arrival and meeting at the flat was easy. They even left us an IstanbulKart to use the public transportation which was really nice and useful to get around town. Can't wait to stay here again.
