The apartment's location is great - it is in a walking distance from many Istanbul's "must see" places - Taksim Square, Galata Tower, Dolmabahce Palace, Istiklal Avenue, new Galataport. There are several restaurants and bars few minutes away and Migros and Carrefour groceiry stores are also very easy to reach on foot. The streets around are steep so it is a good exercise walking up and down from and to the apartment. The kitchen cabinets are showing early signs of aging, but still look good. The kitchen is extremely well equipped and we found everything we could think of there: salt, pepper, olive oil, coffee, tea, coffee filters, pans of various sizes, cleaning supplies, tablets for the dishwasher, etc., etc... Adnan is extremely helpful and we always felt his attention. Adnan's place is a perfect base for 2 people to explore Istanbul.
