This apartment has good qualities. It is quiet and also feels quite safe. There are several rooms, so you can have plenty of space without feeling like you are living in the kitchen, as you would in a studio. Nezaket responded very quickly when I needed faster internet and a new gas tube (as they are called in Turkey). The apartment also has air conditioning, which is great. All the appliances work well. Having an elevator is also a plus. The only drawback is that the windows look into air shafts. Both are spacious and allow for air circulation but you can't have a view to the street--which as I mentioned, can be an advantage because you won't hear horns blowing or car alarms, an issue in many parts of the city. Nisantasi is a very good location with many cafes and good restaurants. Metro access is easy and helps navigating the city. I walked down the hill to Besiktas often to take the ferry. The walk down takes 30 minutes and is peasant. There are numerous buses on the coast in Besiktas which take one up the hill to Nisantasi without trouble. Overall, the place is a very good value for location, transportation, safety and quiet.
