The view from the apartment of the sunrise and sunset over Bosporus is amazing. Though the apartment is near tourist area, it is quiet and peaceful. The challenge is climbing the narrow steps if you have heavy luggage (like we did) since there is no lift. The communication with Ercan was super as response was always prompt. What would have helped would have been if basics like sugar, salt, some tea/coffee sachets could have been provided. The tram stop is 10 -12 min walk from apartment. Incase you are taking the shuttle bus from the area to airport pls keep 2 hours in hand as they pick up guests from various hotels and it can easily take 2 hours to 2.5 hours to reach airport
