The apartment is located in Cihangir which has lots of cafes, restaurants and supermarkets close by. Taksim Square and Tophane are within walking distance.
The rooftop terrace is great but know that it means walking five flights of stairs every time you leave and return to the apartment. The apartment is "rustic". It is quite comfortable and we loved the feather duvet. There is a cat from next door who will pop in to say hello at every opportunity which is not everyone's cup of tea. The washing machine was not working yet we were not informed before our arrival and it was a key reason for choosing this apartment as we were staying for a week. We felt that the story around the sauna is more about the cost of electricity - if so, we suggested to the host that rather be up front and ask guests to contribute toward it's usage. Carolina was very responsive, however, we also felt there was an element of "upsell". It is possible to travel from the airport on the bus which drops you off at The Point Hotel Taskim and you can jump in a metered taxi or order a BiTaksi. The apartment was dirty - it has not been cleaned properly for a long time and there are lots of random unnecessary items lying around or stuffed in cupboards. Overall, the apartment is a gem and if given a good clean and a bit of love it will sparkle brightly.
