The apartment was in a great position to explore the sights and happening places of the city. It's 10minute walk from the main shopping road and about 20minutes walking to Galata tower and the interesting area around there.
The host was very helpful, he sent directions to get to the apartment from the airport which were easy to follow. We would recommend using the metro to get to the flat rather than the tram as it was very busy and crowded.
Overall a great place to stay
