I had a wonderful stay for 6 weeks in Kuzguncuk. This apartment is excellently located, near the main street of Kuzguncuk with its many cafes and restaurants and near the Bosporus. I like the Asian side of Istanbul more than the European side and this area is very liveable. Kuzguncuk is located opposite Ortaköy on the European side, but there is no ferry anymore from Kuzguncuk to the other side (only during the week very early in the morning and back from Besiktas around 18.30). The apartment is very cute and fine for a (short) holiday. For a longer stay for work (reading and writing) I found it less apt: there is no writing table or a comfortable seat. Shower and kitchen are excellent, bed was too hard for me, cupboards for storage are good. Sun comes mostly in the bedroom. Yesim is a great host, there when you arrive and always available when you have questions.
