We loved staying in this apartment. It was spotlessly clean and well furnished. The area is close to many restaurants and bars. There is a grocery shop just a minute up the road where we got all the food and water we needed. It's 15 lira in a taxi from the top of the road to the Aya Sophia etc. It is also possible to walk back from the Aya Sophia/Grand Bazaar area over the Galata Bridge, through the fish market and up to the flat past lots of boutiques and cafés. Alev sent us lots of useful information about transport from the airport, sightseeing and restaurants well in advance. She was there to greet us at the apartment when we arrived. Thanks for a great stay!
