Short and sweet version: 5 stars for the location, the host (and his family) and value. The pictures don't do justice for this place - it is way better! Longer version: The location of this place is easily 5 stars out of 5. I would give more stars for its location if I could. It's just 3-5 mins walking distance to Sultanahmet Square where you will find Sultanahmet Camii (Blue Mosque), Hagia Sophia, Topkapi. Within the neighborhood, you can find a lot of services/facilities all within walking distance (3-8mins walks), such as convenient stores, mini-markets (groceries, fruits, vegetables, etc.), pharmacy, lots of restaurants and cafes, laundries, print/photocopy shops, money changer, electric shop, mosques, bakeries, shops, etc. You literally can reach almost all the Istanbul must-visit places by walking - in addition to what I mentioned previously: Gulhane Park and Grand Bazaar. The public transport station is also very close, like 8 mins walking distance, that is Sultanahmet Tram Station (T1). Also note that, you can take a cab/taxi that could pass just in front of the apartment. I had stayed in this amazing place for 10 days with my parents (60+) and my siblings. This a 3 floors apartment in which their ground floor is a carpet shop that they own. Necati and his brother Ahmed are the owner of this carpet shop. If you have issue in climbing stairs, or you are bringing elder people with you, I suggest you should take the first floor. Check-in was smooth although there was a little bit misunderstanding that we had to stay in 2nd floor for the first day only - but it was sorted out quickly. Ahmed, Ibrahim (Ahmed's son), Omar (Necati's son) helped us during the checkin and carrying our baggages. All of them, including Necati are really really nice people. They are just too kind and very hospitable that you feel they are part of your family. My parents love them so much. They are very prompt, easy to reach, always there to help. It's always nice to stay in a place where the owners are there with you. They are available daily basis up to 7ish pm - basically within the working time of the carpet shop. We arrived at Sabiha Gokcen Airport, and returned from Ataturk Airport. Both airport transfers were arranged by Necati. This apartment is very family-friendly. They provide drinking water, tea, coffees, etc. There is microwave, refrigerator/fridge, toaster, water boiler, stove and all you could need in the kitchen. There is as well a dining table with 4 chairs. The TV is working with quite a lot of channels - we managed to watch FIFA World Cup 2018. They provide towels, and even sometimes would replace new ones for you. Also from time to time, they would make up your room (change bed sheets and cleanings). Additional pros if you are Muslim and/or speak Arabic. You will hear one of the most beautiful Adzan (call of prayer) in the world, 5 times a...
