This is a wonderful apartment, in a very central part of Istanbul, making every part of the city accessible once you learn the public transit system connections, as we did quickly. The apartment is a tremendous value for families with children or to couples sharing a stay, or for groups of friends, since there are two separate bedrooms and three queen beds in the living room and a connecting room. It was spotlessly clean. The host is gracious and responsive. My only caveat, and the reason why we did not give it five stars, is that even though the apartment is on a quite side street the neighborhood gets very busy and lively late into the night and you might struggle with the noise from below at times. We still think it is a great value and would come back again.
