When u book this place , ensure u get Hikmet to send a pin. It was a bit difficult to find. There were stairs so we had to take our luggage up but Hikmet was very helpful with that. The place was very clean. Everything was as advertised. Hikmet was a very responsive host and ensured that we had a great stay. The house was very clean but some of the smaller appliances like the kettle and coffee maker were a bit dirty. The fridge and washing machine were clean. The place had clean sheets and comfortable mattresses. The location was close to the blue mosque and other tourist attractions. If I visit Istanbul again I wouldnt mind staying here again
