The 6 floor climb to the apartment is always rewarded with a priceless view of Istanbul. The Internet was consistent and reliable for our frequent zoom meetings and streaming video entertainment apps, even if it’s not the supersonic speed that you really don’t need. Everything in the apartment was functional. There are 2 grocery stores (Migros-Jet and Sok) steps from the apartment. It’s easily to forget to mention the nearby restaurants because there is no end to your choices in all directions. It’s steps from the Sishane Metro and Beyoglu funicular. Sishane will take you to all the desired sites in the old city. Beyoglu will take you down to the Bosphorus and any connection with trams, busses and ferries. Or walk the 10 minutes downhill instead. The location is perfect for any tourist itinerary. The hosts expressed concern for our wellbeing and satisfaction but didn’t intrude. Our month in Istanbul was made incredible with our choice for this apartment.
