The location for all local attractions could not be better. It is on a quiet street just block a way lots restaurants. If go to end of street you find an amazing local fish restaurant. High end but not tourist prices. You can watch the ships sail by and view of skyline on the Asia side is excellent from window.
The host will meet you no matter what time. We arrived at 2Am after fiasco with airport transport. Just take taxi, but get a SIM card before you leave airport and some Lira.
Water pressure and hot water was wonderful, so appreciated and strong wifi. Washer and dryer in foyer.
Be sure purchase a Istanbul Transportation pass, gets tram , trolley and ferry .
No problem recommending this apartment.
