If your travel style is to be out and and about for the most of the day, this is a great place to stay. The apartment itself is nothing special but it is simple, charming, and clean. Its' location is truly what makes it ideal. Apartment is very accessible to the tram and metro (less than 5 min walk). We would take the tram into Sultanahmet and take in the sights during the day, head back to the apartment to rest up in the evening, then head out for dinner within walking distance from the apartment (Beyoglu is the best neighborhood to dine in!) .Make sure you can handle uphill walks - the street is on a hill, and the apartment is up four flights of steps. Host is very friendly and communicative and quick to reply.
