The balcony is amazing. We enjoyed every night there with view of both European part and Asia part of Istanbul. The last day with also a full moon. The area is quit and safe, not full of tourists. We found very local breakfast restaurant and good wine store just nearby. And Koray is cool and nice, left us enough private space to enjoy his apt, recommended good restaurant, help guide the city, and so on. The apt is nicer than in the picture. Ver clean and comfortable. Just one night the water supply stopped for a while, maybe 1 hour, which may be informed beforehand, but no affect the whole good experience here:)
Great memory in Istanbul!
