We enjoyed our stay at Rifat’s flat. The building is near many food places although we did not frequent them too often due to it being a college area, so there are many college students around always and can get a lil loud at the food establishments downstairs and outside, but just in case you didn’t want to go far, it was useful to have nearby options. Also, if you walk towards the tram station, but go straight instead of walking up the stairs to the station, there are better food options that way, and that’s usually where we ate if we weren’t in the city center (Highly rec the Uyghur Sofrasi! , and The Hills has a large Turkish breakfast if you have a large group). The flat is a quick 5 min walk to the tram station, and it is about 12 stops away (having trouble recalling) from Sultanahmet. Rifat’s place was very clean and this made us feel very comfortable. The couch can be pulled out into a second sleeping space. There is a gym, but gets quite busy after the morning hours, so early workouts are ideal. Wifi is fast and reliable for those working. TV had several apps so you can log in and watch your shows. Also for Muslims needing a mosque to go to nearby, there is one straight down to the right from the buildings once you’re out on the main street .
