Great location to be in Istanbul, what a vibrant, lively, and vivid area of Istanbul, worth every penny! Also, the ferry station is nearby and it is easy to get everywhere with public transport. Staying at Murat's was great, Murat was a pleasant host and was available for all of our questions (and there was plenty, thank you Murat!). The apartment is comfortable, and bright, however, be aware that at night it can be noisy as this is part of Istanbul that is alive all day - all night.
I definitely would recommend it!
