The apartment is easily accessible from airport as we took Havabus to Taksim Square and from there it is a 5 minutes cab ride. It is locality is friendly and all you need is very close to the apartment. There is a great börek shop which is amazing, baking fresh börek every morning. There are grocery and convenience stores right around the corner. I even had a haircut at the local hair dresser across the borek shop.
The alarm system of the apartment was little tricky for us to figure out but Metrona was very patient with us and explained everything on a video call. The kitchen is fully equipped with microwave, convection oven, fridge and dishwasher. We cooked the breakfast at home on most days. The living room is cozy to have a comfortable dinner, watch some TV and relax after a day of city exploration.
Public transport is easily accessible and all the attractions are within 30 minutes by public transport. One could definitely enjoy a long stay in this apartment and (almost) become an Istanbullu!
