This unit is exactly as pictured and the location is marvelous. It is approximately 5 minutes or maybe 300 meters from Istiklal Boulevard, which is one of the main shopping and dining streets in all of Istanbul. That puts you within another 10 minutes of both Taksim Square and the funicular entrances, also major transit points for this area.
The view is, of course, spectacular as you are given a very broad or panoramic view of the waterways, and Asian shoreline from a decently high altitude (about the same as the Galata Tower, which is maybe 15 minutes away if you're an able walker). Also, for anyone who cares, there IS an elevator and it is of reasonable size (not a "french" unit that fits one person with a bag). Yours is the only unit on the floor so you have a private elevator. The entrance door, once you learn the codes, is also nice: mainly because it senses your approach on the way out and opens the door for you!.
The personnel involved with this unit were also exceptional, as we arrived quite late in the evening and needed their guidance to negotiate the entryway and enter the unit --- well "after" hours, and they were sharp and alert and never faltered. This is 'self check-in' at its finest!
Kudos to Eren and the crew - we highly recommend this rental.
