Bebek is one of the more pleasant areas of Istanbul , as it doesn’t have the decaying /dirty streets like many other parts of the city . There are good restaurants , stores and things to do
The apartment is clean and large. Service and response time is good , excellent English. Had an issue with a water leak and was immediately upgraded to a nicer unit a block away . This unit is fine for 4-5 people , but be aware of climbing 3 sets of stairs and forget about trying to park your car. Taxi makes much more sense in Istanbul than driving, since roads in the city are terrible and driving habits are worse.
