We absolutely agree with all earlier comments. It’s a gem. We stayed as a group of 5 people for 9 days and loved it. It’s a fully equipped livable place, with nice private garden. Tram station, ferry station to the Asian side, and metro stop to go up to Taksim square are all down the street 3 minute walk away. We felt the location was perfect as the base for exploring many different parts of the city, and didn’t feel very touristy, which we also preferred.
