We were really disappointed with the location, the travel times shown on the listing were completely inaccurate. 20 mins to Taksim square,
The Galata tower is a 30 minute walk away, up a very steep hill (don’t recommend if you’re older or have any mobility/health issues) 1.2 hours walk to Bosphorus bridge. 1 hours walk to the bazaar. Taxis are available, but to get to most places traffic is so bad that it is barely faster than walking.
The apartment was clean and comfortable, no complaints except the kitchenware/utensils were slightly lacking. No oven mitt/tea towels or spatula. The photos show what is available, don’t expect anything else. There also weren’t any nearby restaurants, but a very small market across a very busy (hard to cross) highway. We ended up cooking in both nights we stayed here.
The wifi also didn’t work during our stay, Benny did try to help and was quite responsive to our messages but unfortunately none of his suggestions worked. If we were staying longer I’m sure the wifi issue could have been fixed.
