What a wonderful spacious apartment..very comfortable. Great beds and linens..and the apartment is very clean and tidy which I love. We could do some washing and hang it out which was really handy as we stayed for 8 days just bring a little detergent along. Amazing location ! Not as hustle bustle as the old city..So close to restaurants of all budgets...Pizzeria Pera next door is great! We ate our way through the district and tried Turkish breakfasts on every street. The nearby transport is very handy too...particularly the Tunnel cable car when coming up the hill. Buy the Istanbulkart card from street vendors..and just keep topping it up at the stations..so much cheaper than one off fares. We booked a few tours thru Viator and used Marmara Pera Hotel for all our pick ups and drop offs..very central..which is just around the corner. Cold beers and wine were found at a little store at the end of lane way along with grocery items. We loved the security of the apartment too..Irem is lovely and happy to help anyway she can ...❤️ love Istanbul!
