Mrs. Kaya met us at the door and made us feel completely welcome and at home; we could not have been more warmly greeted and oriented. The apartment is spacious, comfortable and well-heated, but its best quality is the location: it could not be better situated! It's a short walk from Hagia Sophia, Topkapi (with archaeological & ceramic museums & Hagia Irene), Sultanahmet (Blue) mosque, hippodrome, basilica cistern, mosaic museum and tram, not to mention a range of excellent shops. Solitary downside: hot water is available only in the shower (where it is plentiful).
