The apartment has a fantastic library, ensuring you will never want for good reading material. It is next door to two grocery stores and a delicious bakery, so all your needs are right there. Tarlabaşı is an interesting neighborhood that is experiencing heavy gentrification. The apartment is located on the main road that leads to İstiklal Caddesi, so you are walking distance to the main pedestrian street. We spent two weeks in the apartment and were very happy with it. The bed was very comfortable and the host was helpful whenever we needed water or had questions. As a true testament, we didn't really want to leave it when our stay was finished.
