I would rent this apartment again as it lived up to our expectations. Kitchen was well equipped, dishwasher & washing machine worked well. It was a 7 min, mostly downhill, walk to Tram line 1. It went into Sultanameht one way and to Kabatas the other way to the ferry lines. We used that stop for Bosphorus cruises and to Prince Islands & Dolmabahce Palace. Our 2 weeks in Istanbul were not long enough to see everything but we had fun trying.
