This apartment is in a fantastic location that enabled us to walk everywhere we wanted to go in Istanbul. That said, it is a very short walk to Tophane tram if you wanted to use public transport. It is part way up a steep hill and surrounded by mini markets. The neighbourhood is safe and a short walk brings you to plenty of very cool cafes in Beyoglu.

We found the apartment to be very well appointed (it had everything we needed) and cosy. Tareq is an excellent and welcoming host, and provided some good recommendations for our stay.

Tareq provides excellent instructions for finding the apartment but even then our taxi driver had a bit of a problem (he got us very close but not to the door). Tareq was on hand to speak with the taxi driver and to meet us on arrival.

I wouldn't hesitate to recommend this apartment.
