The apartment is in a building which doesn't give the greatest first impression but it is on the top floor on its own. It is spacious with good amenities. The big feature is the outside balcony/patio which can easily seat 4/5 people and overlooks the Bosphorus (sunrise in the morning and beautiful lights reflecting off the sea in the evening). It is 10 minutes from Taksim Square up the hill and 5 minutes to the tram along the sea front downhill. The transport system is very good with the tram, metro, buses and boats all using the same card which is easy to top up. There are two good double bedrooms and a third room with single bed. It was clean enough but not spotless.
