I had a wonderful one month long stay here. The apartment is very comfortable and has everything you need (dish washer, laundry, well stocked kitchen, office space, a spacious dining room table and living room, and comfortable bed). It is a short walk to popular tourist areas like Taksim square, Cihangir, Galata, Beyoglu and Karakoy; areas I would walk to to work in cafes most days (though working at home at the dining room table or at the office desk was also easy and comfortable). Right downstairs there is a convenience store where you can get your daily provisions, and the donair restaurant across the street is very good and staff very kind. The street is generally quiet during the evenings with only local traffic. The host Ali is very nice, and was very responsive to any requests I had about the apartment or the city. I would definitely come back!
