Burak's place is at a very convenient location. I was traveling with an infant and a toddler and was worried about steep areas that are common in Istanbul. The location of the place is great. There is very little steep (only 150 meter) till you reach to the main road. Within 300 meters, you reach to bus stop that goes to different parts of Istanbul e.g. there is a direct bus to Blue mosque. Istiklal street is just on 10 minutes distance by foot. Metro station is about 1km but most of the time, buses are good enough to take you to most part of the Istanbul. There are several small grocery shops near the apartment.
About the apartment, it is located on the ground floor. The building is newly renovated. The apartment has all the facilities that you can think of: washing machine, dryer, a nice open kitchen, oven, utensils, etc. It is a pretty large apartment with separate bedroom and a lounge with open kitchen. The apartment has a bell to call doormen anytime if you need some help. I can not think of any negative points of the apartment. We really liked the place and would love to stay here again.
