The apartment a pleasure to stay in and was as described and in the photos. The AC worked, the kitchen was stocked with good pots and pans, and we found all that we needed for our stay. Gulnur left us breakfast for our first morning, providing eggs, butter, cheese, milk, juice, coffee, tea and olive oil. A couple of markets are close by for other necessities. The building is a short walk to the cable car stop, and not a bad walk to the Grand Bazaar, Hagia Sophia, etc. There is a big hill to climb to get to any of the attractions, however, a healthy person should not have any issue. At the last minute, one of our party was in a wheelchair, and that was difficult, but not impossible as she was able to take the few steps into the apartment. We plan to return in a couple of years, and plan to look for an apartment in the same building again.

Our biggest recommendation to incoming guests is to ask Gulnur to arrange transportation from the cruiseport or airport to the apartment, as our taxi driver struggled to follow the directions we were provided. They did arrange our departing transport, and the driver was very professional and courteous.
