Spacious, high ceiling, quiet apt close to everything. Shops, greengrocer, bakery etc.
We got to know the corner greengrocer and the dried fruit and nut vendor across the street. Istanbul was cold (we even had snow); the central heating was excellent. High-end kitchen appliances; we cooked meals, made breakfasts. Have proper shoes! The street is narrow, steep with only a "virtual" sidewalk. The Golden Horn views are picturesque, and as a soccer fan I enjoyed a game in the Erdogan stadium which is below the balcony. The doorman was helpful.. we'd come back in a minute.
