Great location and impressive view on the Golden Horn, despite seagull droppings maculating the windows. Most sites are conveniently within walking distance from the apartment, either by walking or by tram or by ferry. Unfortunately, this apartment turned out to be overpriced, underserviced and undermaintained. There is a washing machine and a dryer in the apartment and it will be useful to clean towels as they have been replaced only once by the person in charge during our 16-night stay. There was not enough laundry detergent in the apartment; Consequently, we had to provide our own to clean towels and our clothes. The entrance door knob was falling apart and the in-room safe was not functional; These have been reported early to the owner without any corrective action throughout our stay. In general, communications with this owner are inefficient, as it takes a few hours to get an answer. By the time we got answers, we had already left to visit the city. In summary, great location, but can be best enjoyed for very short stays, as level of satisfaction deteriorates with duration of stay.
