Good location, walking distance from all the major attractions and lots of local amenities nearby (restaurants, market, hammam). However, the metro stations that would get us North to Istiklal Street and area were about an 18-minute walk. The apartment was nice and met our needs, though we could not find the iron board and there were no slippers/bathrobes given as described. Internet was a little slow in the bedroom. Overall it was a good place for the price but our two main complaints are that there was no communication in the days leading up to our check-in, with us receiving a reply only the day before travelling, and secondly, we found the airport transfer rate an exorbitant amount (50 euros) for a private car from the New Istanbul Airport. This would be a good option for a larger family but for us, the bus would have been a better option in hindsight.
