The apartment is beautiful, comfortable, and clean. We stayed there with two small children and the open floor plan was very child friendly. After we put them to bed, we could sit on the balcony with a glass of wine and meze and enjoy beautiful views of the Bosphorus, Fatih, and Uskudar. The view of the church is really special, because from the street, you would not even know it is there. The street is quiet, hip, and quaint, but only steps from the most convenient/central metro station in the city, and from the most popular nightlife. We had a great stay here.
