Absolutely fantastic apartment, I wouldn’t hesitate to stay again. Location is superb , a few mins walk down to Kabatas metro station or a short walk up the hill to the main road into Taksim and buses. Also just by Kabatas is one of the ferry ports for boats to many destinations including Kadakoy.
A v pleasant 20-25 min walk along the Bosporous takes you through the new Galataport and into trendy and pretty Karakoy and to the bridge over to the Horn and Topkapi and Hagia Sophia
View from both balconies to first Bridge one way and to the Horn the other with clear view of Hagia Sophia.
Beds comfy, apartment clean, airy and light . Great sitting room to chill and watch the view.
The only negative thing , completely out of the hosts control, is the construction work at the new port down below . It was a bit noisy sometimes and the work started quite early and one evening didn’t stop until about 7pm. The doors and windows cut the noise out effectively but it was intrusive if on balconies - I’d advise bringing headphones if you have . We may have stayed just at the time it was most noisy though and it wouldn’t put me off returning because it’s such a great place
