If you're into views and want to feel that you're really in Istanbul, the view of this apartment is truly fantastic. However,t he 4 flight walk up to the apartment is a grind and not very nice, but once you get up there it's worth it. Very well situated for tourist travel. Right between 2 taxi stops, and a 5- 10 minute walk down to the tram which goes into the historic peninsula in no time, and 2 stops away from the ferries to the Asian side. The walk up to the apt via the steps is grueling, but cabs are cheap. AC is only in the living room but cools down that space quickly and well. If it's a breezy night, no need for the AC as you're practically on the Bosphorous. Hosts are extremely nice, attentive and respond quickly to any needs or questions.
