The location couldn't have been better. We were travelling as 3 couples, parents, adult children and spouses. One of our party was pregnant and one has mobility problems, therefore the proximity to the main sights and the fact it was only on the first floor was a real bonus. It is literally minutes walk from the Hagia Sophia and the Blue Mosque.

It was great to all have double rooms with en-suite. The apartment was really comfortable, clean and lovely - just like the description. It had everything we needed and more. We found it to be quiet too whilst we were there.

Mahmud could not have been more helpful, advising us on what to see and where to eat. All his recommendations were excellent and he even had an Istanbul card (travelcard) ready for us that we could have used - although we found we could walk to everything we wanted to see. Mahmud also arranged us a transfer back to the airport when we left which was very convenient. He really helped make our holiday much more special and trouble free.

I would recommend this apartment unreservedly and I would definitely stay there again if we return to Istanbul.
