THE AREA: the apartment is perfectly located. A 1 min walk brings you to a restaurant with fabulous views over the Bosphorus. 3 mins in the other direction brings you streets teeming with every possible type of restaurant and coffee shops and supermarkets. A 5 min walk down the slight hill brings you to the metro and 3 mins walk over the line brings you to breathtaking Galataport. If you need the mosque a 2min walk from the apartment brings to a one with stunning views. You can't get a better located place to stay. THE APARTMENT : Is well appointed and stylish. The internet works really well. My husband, my 2 teenage daughters and myself all work online daily and there were no issues All the necessary amenities were there and the powerful blender was a bonus for smoothies. THE HOST: Erhan was incredibly helpful and answered requests almost immediately. We stayed 4 weeks and loved the place We would highly recommend this apartment
