The apartment was as advertised, with two good sized bedrooms, and very comfortable beds. The kitchen was adequate (if a bit small), and the bathrooms were large. The whole place was very clean. The location is excellent - within easy reach of all the top sites, and with everything you would need available near the apartment. There are several small grocery/convenience stores, restaurants, ATMs, and a place with terrific baclava and Turkish delight (Lokum). Emre responded quickly to any questions we had, and was very helpful with tips and advice. The neighborhood was very much working class, but everyone was friendly, even if communication was difficult at times! We would certainly come back if we are ever in Istanbul again.
