I was lucky to spend time on the appartment terrace with such unique & beautiful scene over the Bosphorus.
Elif was very kind as she personally helped me reaching the building after my navigator stopped working.
The hospitality of Marco & Elif is just amazing , they are very helpful people and one of the best hosts in my turkey trip.
the Appartment is near from services (markets , resturants and shops) - needs around 5 minutes walk, you can reach two metro stations (kabatas & taksim) - needs around 15 minutes walk.
If you are driving a car, you need to know that it is not easy to find a parking spot under the building (same applies to other places in the old city) , but you can park in ISPark ( OTO PARK) for a 14tl for full day which is around 5 minutes walk (upward) from the appartment, but one night ISPark was full & I had to park in a private one for 30tl for a full day.
Note: although there is a school near to the building, and you can hear ferries sounds (horns) all the day ( with boat parties in weekends) ... still the place is considered quite.
