Perfect apartment. Perfect location. Perfect host.
A true 3-in-1!
Now (all 4 of them) the details...
1) TWO balconies. One sits 3 floors above the quiet bohemian backstreets of Beyoglu (always a local, or a cat to watch walking by). Massive too - you can comfortably sit 3 or 4 people (not just the expected 1 or 2).
The second balcony offers panoramic views of the wider city. So, to have TWO completely different balcony views is VERY unusual.
Plus, you're NOT OVERLOOKED (trees & church on one side; high above nearest buildings on the other).
2) Spacious interior (around 70-80 sq. m). I enjoyed the bar-height set-up with bar stools, a great work spot. Huge AMAZON SHOWER, exposed brick lounge, traditional tiles on the bedroom floor... you'll notice these well-chosen details.
3) Very comfortable mattress (rise on time!).
4) Superb location. 7 min walk to Istiklal St. Bridge to Asia is a 30-40 min walk. My advice - cut it up & do it in 4 hours...
That's my word on the street.
