Wonderful flat in a beautiful and peaceful location in residential area. The view is amazing! It was a short walk down to the water, and a few minutes to walk up to many bakeries and grocery stores as well as a bus stop. Yes, it’s a hilly area, like much of Istanbul, so keep that in mind. The flat was well stocked and we had everything we needed to cook meals, there was even a dishwasher. There was 5 of us and there was lots of space for us to spread out. The location is great but it is far from a lot of the major tourist attractions of Istanbul, for us this wasn’t a problem. If you are looking to relax away from all the crowds, then you will really enjoy Tarabya! We would definitely stay again.
