location! location! This apartment provides you with the best location. 5 min walk (mostly uphill) to anywhere you want to go , Istiklal street, Galata tower, or downhill to Tophane station, with several grocery stores very close by. We were a family of 4 and it was perfect for our needs.
If you have issues with stairs, please note that you have one flight of stairs to get to the elevator and another after you get of the elevator to reach the apt.
Someone mentioned the ants issue, it is still there and the small devises they have in the walls is not eliminating it.
All on all, it was a great and comfortable apartment with all amenities needed.
