The apartment looked exactly like the pictures. It’s located a few steps below ground but doesn’t feel like it because of very large windows in one room and a sliding glass door in another. It’s extremely close to all major attractions like Blue Mosque, Hagia Sophia, Topkapi Palace. The only thing to keep in mind is that the road to get to the attractions are very steep so it’s fine for young folks but anyone older or with arthritis may have a bit of difficulty. My mom had knee issues but she managed so its possible. To get an Uber it’s best to walk down to the busier street otherwise can take a while for Uber To navigate up the narrow road. The place was very clean, Hikmet was very friendly and really nice. At one point we needed something printed and he helped us with that right away and he also arranged for our ride to the airport and comparatively the cost was very reasonable so was very happy with that. It was five of us who stayed and we managed well with the space.
