The location of the apartment is really a good advantage. You can walk both along the central streets and take a walk to the embankment. Lots of local grocery stores that are open 24/7 or food outlets. This arrangement suggests that it will be noisy outside the window and it is, if you have a sensitive sleep then take earplugs because Istanbul in general is a very noisy city that never sleeps. In general we liked the stay, everything corresponds to the photos and description.
