The apartment is great for a short stay in Istanbul. It isn’t the flashiest place, but has all the essentials and is good value for money. The location was convenient for me as I was visiting a friend who lived in Nisantasi, however for the more tourist spots a commute using public transport is needed or a reasonable walk - 15mins to Taksim, and 45mins to Karakoy, Galata Tower or Besiktas ferry terminal. Only downside for me was the call to prayer from the nearby cami was loud in the morning and woke me up a couple of times. Edip is also a great host and is very responsive and helpful. Overall, would stay there again
