View is awesome with a great view of the skyline. A great way to start and end the day! Apartment is clean, secure and private. Having a lift is a bonus and unique for an istanbul apartment. Perfect for a couple. There is a Telly with Netflix but no cable.
Apartment is located walking distance to Taksim square, Galata tower and also not far from the pier offering great views of the Bosporous. Walking boots recommended and hillier than expected but if you like to walk this is a great place. Host was cool and communicated well and was flexible with late checkout.
Shops, amenities, cafes, restaurants all within close walking distance! A great place to explore istanbul highlights.
Uber works here - paid $16 from airport to Taksim and about $35 from Taksim to Airport for the return - In an around city can be a little more hit or miss and beware of scammers who will message you on the app and try to negotiate a rate.
Good luck fellow travelers.
