Very good quality apartment for long stay (3 months and more), quiet neighborhood with good houses and clean streets, lots of shops and restaurants around, walkable distance to metro (just 4 stops to Bostanci and Marmaray) - so that you are in a calm non-tourist place but can easily get to the city center if you need to. The house itself is in the fenced and guarded residence, the apartment is on the last floor with a great view of the city, so no disturbance from the street noise or neighbors at all, which is important if you work from home. It also has an underground parking lot which is useful if you have a car or rent one.
