The apartment is great in a number of things. First is location. Istanbul is generally very hilly and there is a small climb up to the apartment along narrow streets. Nearest Tram line is Tophane and from there it's a 8 to 10 mins walk up an incline. From Tophane, it's only 2 stops to all major attractions, well with some walking. To Hagia Sophya, Topkapi palace, Basilica Cistern and Sultan Ahmed blue mosque, it's 5 stops to Sultan Ahmet tram station. All ferry port is within tram line. 2 stop to Kabatas ferry port and 2 stops to Eminonu ferry port. We caught the ferry from Kabatas to Princes island but can also take the ferry from Eminonu. Likewise good location in terms of getting the ferry for the Bosphorus cruise at Kabatas. The apartment has good facility for cooking a great meal but we were a bit disappointed that the salt pot was empty but it's cheap to get a packet from Carrefour supermarket which again was only 10 mins walk up the slope from the apartment. The washer dryer was great and efficient and new and quiet. The only thing of concern is that it is a walk up narrow spiral stair case to the apartment on the 6th floor. Not ideal for those who are not fit or have heavy suitcases to carry up. Suggest travel light. It is a great apartment in general with a strong hot shower. Air conditioning works but we rarely used it as it was already cold in late October during the night. Also the large window provide a good view to the distant H. Sophia, Sultan Ahmet mosque and the Galata tower at night. Access to the roof is via a small metal door and provide a good 360 degree view but there is no railing for safety. Suggest caution when going up there.
