This is one of the best variants to stay in Istanbul. The location is perfect (a bit hilly, but you’ll get used to it): trams to the city center, ferries to Asia part of the city, and 10 mins on foot to Istiklal street. The apartment is fully furnished and equipped. It may be a bit cool in winter time as there are big windows inside, but there are really warm blankets and good heating system, so it’s not that big problem. Summing up, I definitely recommend this apartment!
