If you want to live like the locals then this is the place for you.
The apartments were really nice and clean and fully furnished. Everything is within walking distance, go up the road and you enter the naqshabandi Ismaili quarter with its beautiful mosque and shops where you can buy oil based perfumes and prayer mats and Islamic clothing. Further up there is a supermarket and plenty of bahklava shops if you have a sweet tooth. Go down the road and you have a street full of coffee shops and restaurants and you end up in the old Greek orthodox quarter.
The real selling point for this place is the owner Isil. She went out of her way to help us, we checked in really late due to flight time and she met us at the apartment. On the second day she met us at apartment made us Turkish coffee then showed us all the local places and took us round parts of Istanbul.
When i am next in Istanbul I am staying here.
Again if you want to live like a local and experience the city not as a tourist this is the place for you.
