Generally we had a pleasant stay in the apartment.

The apartment is located in a historical residential area. You will have to use taxi or bus to get to Sultanahment, where the main sights and attractions of Istanbul are located, but the district itself is a living piece of history - full of noise, gulls screaming, children playing and, of course, cats hanging around.

You will find all you need in the apartment, including roof top with an exciting view of the Golden Horn and its other side of European Istanbul.

The staff was very helpful. Mustafa does not speak English, but this is not a problem most of the time. If you really need assistance in English, Ugur will help over the phone.

There are two observations worth mentioning: 1) the streets are steep which can be a problem for some people and 2) the bathroom is really small.
