We had a group of 8 adults and one child and came to Istanbul mainly for tourists attractions. There were few sofas in the living room and few of us we sleeping on them.

The apartment had a very convenient location - it was in a walking distance to major tourists destinations of old Istanbul like Grand Bazar; one or two tramway stops to Blue Mosque, Aya Sofia, Egyptian (Spice) bazar, Bosphorus cruises, etc.

The apartment it-self was very basic, but had all the necessities. It had a small kitchen and we were able to cook some breakfast or dinner. There was a grocery store right across from the apartment which was very convenient. There was a washer in the kitchen which was very handy for refreshing our cloths. The shower was working great.

Okan, the host, was always accessible. He provided transportation to and from Ataturk airport for a fee. We had some minor issues with toilet flushing and he sent someone to fix it in a very short time.

Good experience overall.
