Beautiful place, perfect location, amazing rooftop views. We had a wonderful time in Istanbul. The apartment has massive potential with a bit more investment in the appliances (such as the shower water heater which was constantly broken throughout our stay) and a rollaway bed which was broken. However, with regard to the shower water heater, the owners were extremely responsive at all times of the day. They made this difficult situation much better for us. It would not be possible to stay at a more perfect location in Istanbul. And despite how busy the area was, inside the apartment, we never heard street noise. And architecturally, the apartment was impressive.
