Location: 8/10
Its actually 10 for folks who can handle steep climbs. For us with family with small kids, a little challenging. The street leading up to the house is a bit steep. The best part is 10 mins walk to Metro and Uskudar Ferry.
Use BiTaksi App to Call taxis, they always show up in 5 to 10 mins. The way to the metro and ferry is lined up with a lot of very nice boutique food and beverage store fronts, much nicer and easier on the wallet than the touristy istiklal or taksim.
Views: 20/10....Yes its a 20.
The Bosphorus view is amazing, Can see the Euroean coast from Karakoy to Beshiktas and beyond. I actually gave 1 day just to sit and admire the views.
Ameneties: 9/10
Only because it lacked A/C. Of course its not listed as an amenety but we missed it anyways ! Summer !!! A very good working washing machine and microwave were heavily used. Did not use Stove. Kitchen well stocked.
The Place:
Good for a family of 4. 2 to sleep on a queen bed in bedroom, and 2 on king size sofa bed in living room. One extra foldable mattress is on top of the dresser, and can be employed by a fifth person, which we did. Unit is a bit small, but very cosy, and the view makes all the difference.
