No doubt your most significant memory from staying in this apartment will be the view. In the evenings you can open the windows and listen to the calls for prayer wafting over this ancient city, exotic sounds punctuated by the horns of passing ships. And in the mornings having coffee looking out on the Bosporus. You will find nearby restaurants, small grocery markets, coffee shops and a pharmacy. And Taksim Square within walking distance, albeit up a steep hill. We spent a week here and throughly enjoyed our stay. The owner arranged a van for airport pickup and departure. Very nice shower and also has dishwasher, wash machine, stove and oven. I highly recommend this apartment.
