The apartment is spacious and nice with a great view of the city towards the Bosporus from the living room and balcony. The location is just perfect, with everything you need within short walking distance: metro, tram and ferry, nice restaurants, bars and shops - all close by. The place is in a quiet dead-end side street. Maybe one minor issue is that the windows are quite badly soundproofed, so during weekdays you might be woken up by the children attending the neighbouring school. You should also note that there is no wall separation between bathroom, toilet and bed room. If next time the kitchen is a bit better equipped (some more basic ingredients and kitchen utensils), it will be possible to make better use of it. But all in all we would definitely come again and really enjoyed our stay in Istanbul!!!
