This place is centrally located (3 minutes walk to Taksim)* and has good access to public transport (5 minutes walk to metro, 10 minutes to cable car** and airport bus). The apartment itself is clean and spacious, with a nice balcony view of the Bosphorus. There are lots of amenities inside the apartment. Tugce, the host, is outstanding. She returns messages quickly, is easy to communicate with, and cares that her guests are having a fantastic stay. I would highly recommend this place.
*: this means on Saturday nights the area won’t get quiet until at least 1am
**: the walk from the cable car stop to the apartment is a steep uphill climb; this apartment is also four flights up a narrow spiral staircase. Beware if you have lots of luggages
