The most spectacular Bosporus view from the living room. Unbeatable. Worth it just for that !
Good air conditioning throughout apartment which is needed and helpful.
Efficient check in an check out process. Taxis to and from airport can be arranged as well for a fee, which we did.
Comfortable for upto 8 people, though we were only 6.
Apartment has a lovely 70s, wood panelled vibe to it. The main living room is the extraordinarily outstanding feature of the apartment and most of our time in the apartment was spent there.
The Hagia Sophia, Topkapi palace and Blue Mosque are all visible in the distance from the small balcony outside the living room.
Plenty of good restaurants in the vicinity, at a 5-20 minute walking distance.
Kabatas station is less than 5 minutes away, offering ease of access to the ferry (to Asian side and Princes Islands), tram (into the old town) and Funicular (into Taksim Square).
Highly recommend the Istanbul Kart which works on all public transport, and was a life saver, as traffic is truly terrible. Public transport is top notch, broadly to Western European standards in a busy city.
