From the airport catch the number 14 bus to Taksim, we then got a cab as it is very cheap. The apartment was spotless and Felat had left water, tea, coffee and chocolates - such a nice touch. There are plenty of toiletries too. The view was good and the much needed air con was a relief!
We found it easy to commute to all the main sights and the beautiful Galata Tower is nearby. The streets are very steep and there are lots of stairs so not suitable for people with limited mobility. Felat very kindly arranged our taxi to the airport for the journey home. Very sad to leave this wonderful city.
