Great hosts, Made and Mark do their best to make you feel welcome. Great great location. Don't take heavy luggage, you will have to carry it 5 tall floors, the more luggage you carry, the more exercise you'll do. After a long day walking the cities, you'll have to face 5 floor eternal stairs, it's challenging, not impossible. If you consider yourself as elder, don't try it. Grocery stores two little blocks from the apartment. Very kind people on the first floor. Quiet at nights. Beautiful sunrise with a Bosforo, old city and Asian sight. Very close to public transportation and to historical places. Once you are there, you will really enjoy it. Also you will look forward on the day that you leave, because you will carry your luggage down stairs!!! hehehe!! Thanks Made and Mark, we really enjoyed it!!!
