Can't say enough good things about the accommodation and the host! This is a great apt with an amazing location (a block away from the Blue Mosque and Hagia Sophia). 2 blocks to the tram station and around 20 min walk to Grand Bazaar. Apart from the location, the apartment has unbelievable views of the Bosphorous. The place looks like its straight out of a catalogue, everything is clean and new. Beds are comfortable and bathrooms are clean and nice. Centrally located but still very quiet. Mahmud is a great host and gave us some really good recommendations of places to eat and visit. He is also very prompt in his replies and helped organize a cab to the airport for us! Would definitely recommend this place!
