Great apartment, absolutely no need to worry about anything at all if you are new to Istanbul (like us). Metro station is a 5 minute walk that will take you to old town where all the tourist hot spots are located, cafes and restaurants are just a minute walk and you get everything that you need in the stores around. The house itself was spacious for our family (4) and has all the basic amenities you could think of. Kerem himself is a great host and he helped us with pretty much every question I had. Totally recommend.
