We were travelling with children and booked this property thinking that it is in taksim. But that was our misunderstanding.
This appartment is in sisli and a good 10min walk from taksim square and people who are looking to explore old city sultanahmet need to take a metro from taksim to kabatas and change to a tram to get to sultan ahmet.
Taxi would cost anywhere between 70-100 lira.
We booked this property for 5 nights and explained our difficulty to the host who very generously accepted our request and refunded our amount immediately.
I would like to tell the host that the bathrooms are very cluttered and and he needs to remove the large bags from above the cabinets in the bathroom.
There is no lift and this apartment is on the second floor.
