I really enjoyed Safa's place, its a cozy, clean, and comfortable place that not only has foot access to many attractions and local market but also is well-connected to all the attractions I had planned to visit in Istanbul. Communication with Safa and his colleagues was easy and smooth. The place is safe and the streets (and alleys) to reach there are also safe. From the apartment to the airport shuttle stations at the Point hotel is less than 10 minutes of walk. One can get a bus for any of the three Istanbul airports, including the new one.
