I had a great stay and loved Isik’s place. The star is the location; Taksim Square is less than a minute away and you can just walk down to İstiklal Caddesi. It is a busy neighbourhood, with lots of grocery stores, eateries, salons and those who enjoy the busy city vibe would enjoy it.
The apartment is exactly as represented in the pictures, is clean and homely. It was particularly cosy, given rainy and cold it was in Istanbul during the dates of my visit.
Will definitely stay again when I revisit Istanbul.
