Hasan was very friendly, he meet us when we arrived and gave us local tips. The place was clean, the location is quiet (except the prayers from the minaret, they are all around anyway). It is 5-10 min walk to lively area of Beyoglu,Taksim. A 15-20min walk from the airport shuttle buss and 20min form the Galata bridge leading to most of the popular spots in the Istanbul.
