Ali was waiting for me and instructed my taxi driver to the right address. The location of the apartment is exactly next to Ottoman Hotel. Ali explained about the surrounding area, provided us map to popular tourist attraction and some briefing about the house. The house is well decorated and functional. However, the picture is not exactly the same as the actual house (no extended window in master bedroom, the picture looks bigger). The distance to nearby train station beyazit is about 15-25 minutes walk, depending on how fast you walk. Grand Bazaar located nearby this station. The same walking distance we can reach blue mosque area (Aya Sophia, Topkapi, Museum). Overall location is very convenient. There is at least 2 mini market, 2 bread shop, restaurant and even pharmacy very nearby. Not very recommended for the traveller with small kids as there's elevated route to the tourist area. However, if you're fun and don't mind walking, you'll love it.
