check-in was without any problems, since we arrived at night we were a little lost. I advise to take a taxi anyway ( from Istiklal Square 50 lire in rainy day). apartment on the second floor, it is very good if you have suitcase. The apartment is very compact but has everything for life even sewing kit. there is also washing powder, usually I always went on the second day to look for a store to buy, there’s no need to do this. the dishwasher is a huge plus, all dishes are always clean and without germs. the apartment was very clean, I appreciate it. the shower is very spacious even for a large man) I can recommend this. the location is very good and yes, on the google map we found the metro ( Sishane -700 m from home) and tram stop T 1 ( you need from the grocery store, which near the house to go down - to the right 600-700 meters stop "Tophane" ). The last stop Kabataş - here Dolmabahçe Palace, Yildiz Park and bosphorus tour. everything is nearby if you use public transport. on the main street you can find many shops with clothes and souvenirs, but at European prices. really liked the Galata area, near the Galata tower. a lot of designer clothes, Turkish soap of 4-5 lira with an unimaginable aroma, perfumes, cafes, etc. and if you want to enjoy sweets go to Hafiz Mustafa cafe-shop its my favorite. )) Thanks Ferhat and we really love Turkey and Turkish people. görüşürüz
