Location, Location, Location. We are a couple with a 8 month old baby and stayed at Murat’s for 5 nights to explore Istanbul. It was a comfortable stay, a few items missing from the kitchen to enable to cook efficiently, however where the place is positioned is surrounded by wonderful restaurants and is about a half an hour walk to the blue mosque and grand bazaar. A few flights of stairs to contend with but all in all we enjoyed our stay.
