The apartment is small and simple, but clean and reasonably well-maintained. The balcony on the photos was a draw when I was choosing a place to stay, but this turned out to be very small with uninspiring views. The immediate surrounding area is quite run down, but we came to appreciate being situated a little outside of the main tourist areas, particularly given the large number of cheap eateries in nearby streets. In any case, the main attractions of Sultanahmet are within easy walking distance - around ten minutes to the Grand Bazaar, and fifteen to Aya Sofya and Blue Mosque. Saban was very responsive; arrival (including arrangement of airport pickup) and departure were straightforward. Overall, a positive experience.
