Location is super convenient--there's a nice grocery just up the way with decent beer (the green labeled IPA is as close as you can get to US styled beer, which is a major improvement since last time I was living in Istanbul) and organic options; there's a bus system right on the corner (make sure you get your bus passes sorted asap--it takes time now with covid restrictions); and even better, for me, was the access to the metro after a short bus trip (or a pleasant 13m walk) that leads to one of the best malls in the city (Cevahir). Not much further away, by walking--about 20 m--is a fancy part of town (where the Birkenstock store is located) with an upscale mall nearby. There's a lot of open space for conversing, and the cleanliness is excellent. Overall, I would heartedly recommend this unit for an extended family (or big friend) visit. Deniz is a great, accommodating host; she went out of her way several times to help us out.
