This is one of the most comfortable locations in Istanbul, the bus from the airport drops you off at the bus stop, which is 4 minutes away. Public transport, metro buses, are 3 minutes away, by walk.
Super markets, cafes and restaurants are everywhere, both economy class and premium, for those who like it fancy. Amazing Turkish food at every corner.
The apartment is very clean and the owners are so friendly, they are very helpful with any request. I needed a car, so they offer their car for rent which was perfect and the price cheap.
For families with children it's very comfortable, it's on the first floor. You can leave your stroller in the hall, no need to keep them in your apartment. There is a large park for children with a cozy cafe, trees, grass and a playground.
It's about 40 minutes by metro bus, away from the center, but the road is straight, no need to change transport. You just travel 40 minutes by metro bus and you are in the center of Istanbul.
