The location is indeed great, but even better for the weary traveler, this apartment was quiet and spotless and the bed and bedding were super comfy. We stayed for two weeks and we slept great each and every night. Also, the internet was fast and flawless, and that was a welcome surprise.

The place is small but it has everything you need and nothing you don't. And yes, there is no view, but there is enough light, and your location at the back of the building shields you from the 5:30 AM morning call to prayer. In fact, we heard no street noise whatsoever at any time. This alone is reason enough to stay here.

The other reason is that Engin is a great host, there when you need him but otherwise content to let you have his guest apartment. I would recommend this place.
