The apartment is great. it has everything you need for your stay in Istanbul and of course the location is just perfect. I know Istanbul quite well and I don't think there is a better location than this. On top of it your are spoiled with a wonderful view of the Bosphorus which is worth all its money. If you don't like stairs though, beware the apartment is on the third floor, so you need to do some execercise. And the street side is a bit noisy too, but earplugs do a great job.
