We arrived Saturday evening and Engin was good too meet us at the apartment, waiting as we made our way through rush hour traffic.

This is a great apartment in a very good, quiet neighbourhood; exactly as Engin described it. We stayed 8 nights and it quickly felt like home away from home. It was great to have the ability to cook breakfast or evening meals.

Lots of little stores nearby for necessities and within walking distance of tram (downhill to Findikili) or metro (uphill to Taksim). Also a few minutes walk to the shore, great for an evening stroll and to enjoy a turkish coffee in the open air and watch the lights of the bridge and the Asian shoreline.

I would highly recommend it.
