The apartment was as shown in the advertisement, perhaps the images are made with a too large wide-angle ☺. It was nice, tidy and still not worn out. The view from the living room is great, and from the sleeping room you can see the Borusan museum’s tower. The kitchen has a basic equipment, but really not more.
The area around is nice and busy, a lot of restaurants nearby, a 2-km way to the rich Bosphorus-district Bebek where you find the next ferry terminal. There are only two or three small and poor “bakkal” kiosks in the neighbourhood but no real shops for buing food, this you have to fetch elsewhere.
The transfer service which we used on arrival didn’t work – too much money spent for to less service (inadequate information, lot of calls in Turkish had been necessary, filthy, smoky and uncomfortable van taxi).
