A tucked-in apartment in a most enchanting and authentic area near Taksim square. So many landmarks and great restaurants are just a short walk away and the preservation of the original walls is nothing short of breathtaking. Daniel was incredibly responsive and gave top-notch instructions on how to arrive from the airport. Only caveat would be the air conditioner is in the living room and the windy hallway (which I loved, by the way) precludes it from fully ventilating the master bedroom. Since opening the windows wasn't much of an option for us due to our being allergic to cats--and Istanbul notoriously has many of them inviting themselves in if they find an opening--it could get a bit stuffy during the summer. Otherwise a highly recommended stay!
