This apartment has the best location for tourists visiting Istanbul for the first time. All key points of interest are 5-7 minutes walk. It is also very comfortable for big groups, especially families. All you may need is there. If something is not there yet, Ali (the host) will be happy to bring it for you. Many good cafes are in 1-2 minutes walk. Also if you stay here, try the Garden 1897 restaurant. You will love it. It's cheap, but the food is great, and waiters are amazing.
