This is perfect place if you visiting istanbul for Tuypa center which is around 10 minutes drive, or 30mins walk. It has ample local restaurants to choice from , I could not find a restaurant which sells alcohol with food , but you can be purchased from very limited numbers of off licenses and consumer in the apartment, also has 'File 'supermarket and others local indpendant shops around. Mohammed is really friendly and can't help you enough. Check out the indoor pool, gym, sauna and steam room on B1. I'd also recommend Shirin for a massage. To get into Istanbul centre you need to take the Metrobus which is around 30 min walk away (Marmara park) once on the metro bus then takes around 1hr which includes one change onto a Tram.
