We stayed for a week here and had a great time. The apartment is all on one level and is comfortable very nicely decorated. All mod cons including washing machine and dishwasher which for our family was very welcome:). Buse our host is an excellent communicator and speaks great English. Nothing was too much trouble for her. Thank you Buse.
It’s in the nicest area of Istanbul. Lots of locals rather than mainly tourists, classy shops and cheap bakeries etc. Loads of eating out options. Very liveable!
Our twin boys aged 4 loved the great parks just a short walk from our front door. For transport links it’s about a 5 minute stroll away past cafes and fresh fruit stands and then you have buses and river boats to get around. The metro is a 10 minute walk away.
FYI, Get an Istanbul kart if you can to make transport payment easier l. If the machines have none you can get them from news paper stands and snack food sales kiosks. You need to validate it before use.
