I travelled on my own with my eight year old daughter. This place has proven to be the right choice! The apartment is exactly as seen in the photos. The bed and the sofa are comfortable, the room is spacious, the shower is very good and the TV has several resources. Wifi works ok. Location was great for us. 10 minutes from TRAM and Grand Bazaar, 10/15 minutes easy walk from Blue Mosque and Aya Sofia. Only a few stations by tram away from Eminonu and Galata Bridge, where we took the boat for the Bosphorus tour and to go to places like Kabatas. And a couple of stations from Sultanahmed if you prefer to go by tram. The neighbourhood is more residential, so quiet at night, and we had no problems sleeping at all. I felt safe in the area and had no problems at all going back walking at night, which we did most of the days. Supermarket, small shops for groceries, bank, all just a minute away. There is a street less than five minutes walking with many, many restaurants to choose from. Including one that also belongs to Barbaros and has very reasonable prices and good food. It's worth a visit as there is live turkish music in some restaurants and it can be a good glimpse of local life. Great if you love sea food but there are other options too. For us, the highlight with this apartment was Ali, who manages the apartments. He was waiting for us on arrival, was very helpful with the lugagge and in showing the apartment itself, and the area around. He made himself available, gave us all his contact numbers, and a card explaining in turkish how to get to the apartment. Very handy to use if you take a taxi. And it is easy to reach him if you need , as he works in the same building. Nothing seemed too much trouble for him, and he antecipated my needs. For example, he gave me a trasnport card so I didn't need to buy one ( only charge with some credit), gave us a map marking all the areas of interest and showed us how to get around. One day I asked where to go for a typical Turkish breakfast and a couple of days later he brought us some Borek from the best shop in the area, and juices for breakfast. Still, Ali was very professional and not invasive at all. He was also helpful giving tips on where to get things we wanted, and booking transport back to the airport. He waited with us to make sure the taxi was coming and helped with the lugagge too. I really appreciated his support as it made me feel safe in case I needed any help or back up, being so far from home with my daughter. We also met Barbaros at his restaurant, and he was friendly and helpful too, always asking how was everything and...
