A great place in a perfect location. Üsküdar and the Asian side in general is the most overlooked part of Istanbul. If you want to get away from the tourist bubble, you should consider staying here. It does require a little more travel experience, since the area is not built for tourism. But once you find the place, it's easy to get around. There are lovely bakeries and parks all around, and it's only a seven-minute walk to the wharf, from which you can hop a delightful ferry to the European side. Levent is also a very attentive host who will help you get situated and, if you're new to the city, give you some tips on where to go. He always replied within minutes when we needed a small thing. As other reviewers have mentioned, please note that the apartment is four stories up, but if you have no trouble with stairs, you'll be rewarded with a lovely view. The space is spacious, comfortable, and well appointed. And if you need other small things, just ask Levent.
