Fantastic experience! We fell in love with Istanbul (and the apartment)! The restrooms are gorgeous and the apartment was great for the four of us. We did the shuttle to and from the apartment and would highly recommend it as it’s a busy area and normal cabs may have an issue getting to the place (lots of foot traffic and no cars allowed on street that the apartment is located on). Also, as other reviewers said, the hills and stairs are no joke!, be prepared for a little cardio. All in all, We’d stay there again in a heartbeat. p.s.- check out the rooftop for a mind blowing view of the city and the Galata Tower.
