The apartment is newly furnished, stylish with quality finishes. We were a family of 5 and we were comfortable to explore Istanbul from this apartment. 3 slept on the large sleeper sofa in the open plan living room and 2 in the open bedroom. Apartment was spotlessly clean. All that you need for basic food prep is available. There is no aircon and this will be a struggle in the scorching Summer months. It is comfortably situated between Galata, Istiklal and the Tram/Bus route to Fatih. The hostess is very accommodating with our checkin and out times even though she was fully booked. She also provided us with snacks on arrival which was awesome. She checked in with us to see if we needed anything and was very responsive when we did need assistance.
Area Notes: Kabatas area is filled with steep roads. Istanbul has lots of mosquitoes this time of year.
