Great Apartment! The listing and pictures accurately portray the place.

Apartment was clean when we arrived. AC , Internet washer machine worked great. Kitchen had all the things required to cook although we didn't need it. No hot water in the bathroom sink, annoying for shaving but a very minor issue.

A short walk to Istiklal Cd and Galata Tower.

The neighborhood is great because it's located close enough to the action but far enough from the noise. There are multiple grocery stores around for quick purchases.

Only minor problem with the location is the streets are too small for cabbies to know the street / to narrow for them to go down easily so you're better off just getting dropped off at Pera Palace hotel which every cabbie knows and it's a quick walk from there.

Fahrettin was always reachable by phone when we tried. My friend accidentally left his shirt hanging to dry when we left and Fahrettin was helpful in getting it back when we returned to Istanbul, so bonus points for going above and beyond.
