The apartment is located in a great neighborhood close to public transportation but be prepared to climb a lot of steps on your way back from the T1 tram line which you'll use to get to the historic sites. Taksim Square and Galata Tower are within walking distance and many restaurants to choose from in the area. The apartment is as described with spacious living/dining space and a great view out from the living room. VNG was responsive and the self check in/out process was seamless.
