The apartment is perfect for one or two people who won't be spending too much time there due to limited space but is very comfortable. The TV and sofa area is perfect to unwind at night, the full kitchen came in very handy. Modern, sleek, efficient use of space. Plenty of storage space so you can unpack and not see clutter anywhere which I enjoyed. Bathroom was clean and the showers were enjoyable - hot water. Very cold in apartment - AC worked great. Washer/dryer also very handy. Hussam is very good with communication and accommodating. He was very helpful throughout my stay and I recommend this place. As far as location - not the best - about 30 min by taxi from center (Beyoglu-Taksim area), 4o from Besiktas - Bebek area, 30min from Fatih (Blue Mosque - bazaars). There is 212 outlet, Mall of Istanbul nearby, as well as Arena Park. Decent gym at Arena called Macfit which is a chain of gyms throughout Turkey. Nothing really within walking distance besides a FLO shoe shop and a starbucks. If staying in this area, I recommend checking out Aqua Florya mall which is situated on the Sea of Marmara. Stunning view, good shopping and aquarium. Nice restaurant - Kasibeyaz. Also somewhat nearby - Bahcesehir Park. Nice area to walk around - many coffee shops, restaurants, etc. Thank you, would stay here again.
