The location is ok. You need to climb up some steep streets, but there are two small shops nearby and it is not far from the ferry station. The view to Bosphorus is great, but it seems that the hosts have decided that the view itself is enough. The apartment leaves an impression, that the maintenance was neglected for some time already and the host responsivness wasn't great. The sink's drainage in the bathroom leaked, we notified the hosts and albeit they had promised that someone would come and take a look, no one bothered to do so for the whole week. We have put a bucket with some rags under it and had to pay attention not to slip on wet tiles every time we used the bathroom. The apartment looks somewhat shabby and needs some work, like an unsteady tea/coffee table, strains on the walls, leaking coffee machine, etc. We don't recommend this apartment, despite the great view.
