The property is very close to Taksim Square with a beautiful view of the Bosphorus sea with all of the main Mosques and boats and some of the Asian side in sight. The apartment is extremely spacious and has a balcony and a private terrace! Very good night life and restaurants nearby and peaceful and lovely at nights on the terrace. Mert was a great host he helped me carry my heavy suitcase up the 6 sets of narrow stairs and offered to help with taxi services for me as well as providing solid advice on changing the water temperature.
