The apartment was better than expected: big, clean, comfy, including all necessary items. The only challenging thing was the way back after all day of sightseeing-you need to climb to the apartment, but on the 2nd,3rd day you get used to that. The apartment location is great, close to tram, bus, metro stations. Tram takes you to Hagia Sophia, Blue Mosque, Grand Bazaar, Istanbul Archaeological and Topkapi museums. Galata Tower, restaurants, grocery stores are located within a short walking distance.
