The location of this apartment is second to none. Seconds from the door are a collection of shops, cafes, a grocery store, and a few minutes walk will take you to the public transit system. The apartment itself isn't particularly spacious but provides ample room for a couple, especially when the additional balcony and rooftop outdoor spaces are considered. Amenity wise, it has the necessities. Chiko was a wonderful host and was quick to respond to the few questions we had during our stay about the apartment and the area. I'd certainly recommend this place to other young couples visiting Istanbul who prefer to be in a neighborhood populated by locals, not surrounded by tourist traps.
