The place is exactly as described. We had the apartment on the top floor so there were stairs to climb. There are no elevator in the building. It is exactly as shown in the pictures. The best feature is the location. Walking, in a day you can visit the Blue Mosque, Hagga Sophia, Topkapi museum, Basilica Cisterna and Gran Bazaar. There are many shops for souvenirs and restaurants along the way. It is in a very safe neighborhood and coming back at night we felt very safe. Note that you can take a taxi to other locations for a 20-minute ride.
