Wonderful apartment with a great view! Pictures are very accurate. Hatice, the owner, runs the cafe on the same block as the apartment and is very helpful and pleasant. She was always quick to respond, and the offer to provide transportation* to/from the airport was VERY helpful (particularly when we needed someone to communicate with taxi drivers to explain the apartment's location)! The apartment is on the top floor of the building and there are no elevators. Keep this in mind as you walk all the hills of Istanbul, or consider how much luggage to bring. However, you will be rewarded with a wonderful view! The WiFi was pretty fast, too.

*TIP: The streets of Istanbul are very complicated and taxis often do not know exactly the location where you are going, unless it is a major destination. A good tip we were told was to tell the taxi drivers the neighborhood, then a popular place near your location. After that you can either walk or give them precise directions (we had taxis drop us off at the hotel just up the street, so we had a downhill walk of a couple blocks to the apartment from there). So, we strongly suggest you take advantage of the transportation that Hatice can set up for you.
