Yakup's place was neat and tidy. It is located near most of the sight seeing attractions in istanbul. The apartment was in the 4th floor with cramped up spiral stair case and no elevator so it was difficult for me to take my luggage but Yakup arranged some help for us. Also if you have someone old travelling this place bare in mind that you will have to climb up 3 steep blocks to get to the tramway. If you are young I don't think that will be a problem. Overall I would recommend Yakup's place for a short stay without any issues.
