Rifat's apartment is amazing, clean and very comfortable. Location is very close to all major sites in the Sultahnahmed area and only an 8-minute walk to trams that would take you to Beyoglu or ferries to Kadikoy.
The apartment is also very close to convenient stores, amazing kebab restaurants (with reasonable prices) and lovely cafes. Rifat himself is highly responsive and understanding. We had a bit of hiccups with the lost luggage at the airport upon arriving in Istanbul and had to delay our check in time, and Rifat didn't sweat one bit. Thank you again for your support and a lovely stay!
