Check in was a breeze with clear instructions emailed to us a couple of days before our arrival.
The apartment was exactly like in the picture. It's very spacious, can accomodate up to 6 pax, though there is only 3 of us. There is washing machine for us to use and the place comes complete with all utensils and cutleries.
The location is fantastic. We never get tired of the view from the spacious balcony. Lots of restaurants around. We discovered a cafe street behind the apartment (less than 5mins walk). There is also a supermarket just behind our apartment. The marmaray, metro and ferry are all within 5 - 10mins walking distance. We took the ferry almost everyday to cross to the European side.
Coincidentally we were there during Turkey Republic Day which was on our last night and we get to enjoy beautiful fireworks, right in front of the balcony. What a beautiful way to end our stay :)
We really love the location and wouldn't mind staying here again if we come to Istanbul next time.
