The location is terrific. Public transport a few minutes away, the Galater tower a short walk and the Blue Mosque 35 minutes by metro and tram. Loads of good restaurants dessert bars, bakeries etc near by.
Access is by way of a pass coded external door then a spiral marble staircase. We were on the fourth level. The room has a triple lock safety door.
The apartment is in an old brick built building and fairly recently modernised to a very good standard. It has lots of atmosphere. We loved the brick vaulted ceiling period wall paper and marble floor.
We stayed for seven nights. The linen was changed and the room cleaned half way through.
The large double bed is low to the floor, but very comfortable.
There is a huge fridge, microwave two cooking rings and kettle in the kitchen area. A small supply of teabags and welcome bottles of water were provided.
There are plenty of power sockets including one by the bed.
The shower room is smallish but adequate the water pressure and temperature good. .
Noise insulation is reasonable but local street noise can still be heard.
We had a water outage that effected the whole area for 8 hours or so but that was not a property issue.
There was however a hot water fault that occurred twice. The property owner sent someone to fix it each time within quarter of an hour even though it was late in the evening. Hopefully this issue will have been permanently rectified after our visit.
All in all a brilliant stay in a remarkable city.
