Ismet's place is just like in the pictures with a fantastic view of the Bosphorus. The apartment was very clean, spacious, with a smart design and clutter free also thanks to Mira, the cleaning lady, who was very friendly and helpful. On the first night we had a series of midnight/ 2AM inconveniences due to our loud neighbours from the apartment above, who may have been a little too excited to be in the beautiful Istanbul. However, this was not Ismet's fault. We have informed him in the morning and the following night everything was ok and we could finally sleep peacefully. As for the location it is very convenient: 5-7 minutes to Istanbul Modern Art Museum, the waterfront and the lively streets with cafes and restaurants in Karaköy (old Galata). Also, the Tophane tram station is located 5 minutes away (Istanbul card is a very smart investment to get around). A word for senior tourists: the hill leading to the apartment is a bit challenging, but for the rest is a good cardio exercise.
