The flat is ideally located, 5 minutes walk form the T1 tramway Tophane and the buses as wall as from the Iskital avenue. Great location for accessing any parts of the city. The neigbourhood is very quiet and peaceful. It is very calm and you hardly hear the muezzin at dawn.
The flat matches the photos on the site and despite the fact that it is a little bit dark it is very pleasant and clean.
If you intend to cook in the flat, be aware that the kitchen utensils are minimum and should you be a coffee drinker in the morning, there is no coffee machine. We bought a french press to make our morning coffee.
It takes time for the hot water to arrive and once it did not arrive at all.
The airport transfer at our arrival was very convenient and Mehmet was at the apartment, waiting for us.
Mehmet provides a map of the city and a few tips about the places to visit. Check some of the info provided before going, notably, to Ortokoÿ for the local market. An istanbulKart is also at the guests' disposal and the only thing to do is recharge it. Mehmet was very friendly and you can easily contact him through the Airbnb site. However, he doesn't have voice mail on his mobile phone.
Overall, we would highly recommend the place.
