Stayed at apartment for 2 days the very first time and 4 more days on the last leg of my travel in Istanbul. Got to like the location even better. Only 5-10 minutes walk to Tram or Metro Station. Decent, quiet neighbourhood. Safe enough for single travellers especially ladies to walk back to apartment at night as there are still small shops open around 9.30-10pm. Would strongly recommend to book this apartment for its convenient location and hospitality of the host, Alper. Alper responds fairly quickly to any questions or assistance you may require. However, as other guests have touched on, if you are not comfortable walking up hill and down hill from the tram/metro stations to the apartment then perhaps this place may not be suitable for you. On the other hand, if you are up for the challenge, this place gives you an authentic introduction to the Turkish community way of life. On the whole a very comfortable and enjoyable stay.
