Rifat is an amazing host who was always available to help out and accommodate our needs. The location of the residence is ideal from tourism point of view as its walking distance from the Blue mosque and Hagia Sophia. It is also at walking distance from all the happening spots of Istanbul's old town and tourist district. The residence is situated on a very cute street tucked away off the busy road and traffic. We had a very comfortable stay and would recommend to anyone looking to stay in Istanbul.
