The apartment was just amazing, the balcony (or I should say private terrace) is fabulous with a terrific panoramic view on the Bosphorus. I spent a month in this apartment during the lockdown, so the view from the balcony was one of the most beautiful attractions for me. I had the best views in the morning of the sun rising, lovely dinners with spectacular sunset views every evening, outdoor yoga/workouts, and sunbathing in the afternoon :) It's a central yet super quiet location. WiFi was very fast, I worked every day 8 hours online, I could easily do conference calls, and zoom meetings at every corner of the apt including the terrace. The apt is spacious and 4 people can easily sleep - There are 2 single beds turned into a queen-size bed, and there are additional mattresses. Amenities are all you would expect and even more. The kitchen is fully equipped, you can cook, use the stove/oven/microwave, and even barbecue! There is a dishwasher and washer/dryer which was super helpful for doing laundry. There was no AC but I didn't even need it once; there's always a cool breeze in the apartment. And there's heating if you need it. The building is situated near subway, Marmaray, ferries, busses, and taxis so you can commute every other. Easy walking to the Maiden's Tower and other major attractions. You can travel to the Europen side(Sultanahmet, Grandbazaar, Hagia Sophia, etc..) with Marmaray in less than 30 min. If you have your own car there's a ton of parking space around. HUGE THANKS to Cagan - He is a SUPER-HOST! amazing hospitality, he went above and beyond to help me with everything from the moment I arrived until my departure. He is extremely communicative and quick to respond and provided everything I needed. This apartment is perfect for short & long-term stays, I'd book it again in a heartbeat and I 1000% recommend this apartment to everybody who will be visiting Istanbul.
