This is an extremely well located apartment building run by a friendly, helpful family. We stayed in number 4 and enjoyed watching the boats during the day and the moon at night. The apartment is spacious and adequately furnished--not fancy but serviceable. There is a washing machine and drying rack. The neighborhood felt safe. We walked 7+ miles every day, took the tram, bus, ferry and light rail to explore the various parts of Istanbul. We found the food in the city to be consistently delicious and ate twice at Cafe Amedros, which was great. We did not find the 5 am call to prayer from the nearby mosque to be a problem at all...we just went back to sleep!
