Great location. Walking distance to major tourist spots, train stations & fabulous restaurants. Views of Bosphorus were amazing. Pictures don’t do the justice, it was breathtaking! Only issue that we had was the lack of black-out curtains or curtains at all but if you are an early riser this shouldn’t bother you. Julia was very responsive and took care of our needs right away. She even let us check-in early which helped us a lot after our long flight especially since we were travelling with young kids. There is no elevator (only one flights of stairs) but it didn’t bother us even with our 4 suitcases. Short ride to Mehmat area. Publc transport were easily available and taxis are very cheap to get thru a local taxi service. I would highly recommend Julia’s apartment if some sunlight in the morning doesn’t bother you.
