The apartment was great for us, a three-generation family with 4 adults and 2 young children. The view was fantastic, especially at night, and the layout with the huge living room left room for everyone to do their own thing. We found we preferred the stairs and even for the grandparents, after a long day of sightseeing, we were able to climb up easily. The location was super, and we really felt we were able to see so much of Istanbul from that central spot. I absolutely recommend this place if you are going to the city to be tourists. Super!
