I loved my stay in Daniel's apartment and would happily return. Daniel was very easy to communicate with and provided some top tips for travel and eating out. The apartment is cozy, well-equipped, nicely designed and - if you are a history geek - has an interesting book collection The views are amazing so, yes, it is true that you have to climb 107 steps to get to the apartment but you'll quickly get used to that and it's not a problem unless you have mobility issues. It is well-located for transport - with a tram stop 5 minutes away - and is in a lively area with shops and restaurants. Seeing the sun rise over the Bosphorus as you have morning coffee on the little balcony is wonderful and in the evening you can enjoy sitting out on the larger terrace.All in all a great place to stay.
