For a perfect location to visit historic and hip Istanbul, this is the place. The location is halfway up one of the hills of Istanbul so you should be comfortable with a bit of walking though public transportation is available at the bottom and top of the hill. The apartment is as described and Zeynep provided us with an Istanbulkart for public transportation upon arrival as well as recommendations on restaurants and local sites. Great food and sight seeing is all close by with cool neighborhoods for shopping and food nearby. It was a perfect base for our one week vacation, very comfortable with wonderful rooftop views, quiet, clean and comfortable. You can easily grab a taxi at the foot of the hill on the main highway upon departure and Zeynep arranged a pick-up for us at the airport. Many thanks for a wonderful memory!
