The neighborhood where the apartment is located is quiet, especially from the side where bedroom is, so nothing disturbed our rest. There are many supermarkets, restaurants around, and in 15-20 minutes by walk (very hilly landscape!) depending on directions, there are either big city area with huge choice of bars, coffee houses, restaurants, some museums and Bosphorus or fashionable district with city malls, fancy places, and etc. In other words, 5-star location!
The apartment is well-equipped: big comfortable bed, a lot of storing solutions (wardrobes), dishwasher, washing machine - there is everything that is needed for modern and comfortable life. It is really warm (heating and A/C), so we didn't feel chilly or freezing even during low temperature (March).
Also, there are a lot amenities, that might ease your adaptation, for example, bath amenities or tea/coffee (and some snacks provided by Kerem), therefore if guests arrive very late, they don't need to worry about it.
The internet is really great. We had been working remotely during our stay and it never failed: connection is stable and maintain high-speed.
It is amazingly furnished! The apartment is very beautiful and cozy: from the very beginning there was a feeling like we had been living here for a very long time.
It's worth mentioning separately about the host. Kerem is 5-star super host! Apart from the fact that he maintains the apartment in a great shape (there is possibility to order additional cleaning service for fee), provides all essential amenities for living, Kerem is very attentive and responsive person, who is ready to assist in every possible question of requests.
Also, Kerem is very interesting person, so I recommend meeting with him personally, taking a cup of coffee and having a chat! As a true Istanbul citizen with perfect taste he can suggest you a lot of great places to attend. You don’t need tour guides when you have such host as Kerem!
