Basically, it is not a bad place to stay in Istanbul. This is a simple apartment with a great view. There is an enormous window and a lot of sun shining. Nearby is a good public transport spot (buses and ferry-boats), 20 min to Taksim, a lot of grocery's shops - 10-15 min. Can is very friendly and looks for feedback. When we needed some things, he always brought them for us. Furniture is not new but we had no problem with it.
