Had a fabulous time in the apartment. Uskudar is great and beats staying in the bustling tourist areas. But transport is excellent so no problems there. The flat itself is lovely and has everything you need. I chose it for the view and wasnt disappointed, it really does have one of the best views in town. The hill to the apartment is steep but taxis are cheap if you cant manage it. Cemre is a great host, the whole process was very easy.
