First off the neighborhood is amazing. Shops and restaurants all around. If you are sensitive to sounds late at night, this may not be for you. If you love the sounds of the market and people chatting, keep reading. The apartment is on the first floor up, so only one flight of stairs and the apartment is beautiful. It reminds me of a Parisian apartment, cozy and chic. The bed is comfy and the storage ample. Walk to the bazaar, Sultanahmet Square, The Blue Mosque, etc. Experience Istanbul like a local. Oh and the water pressure and temperature were wonderful. The response time was remarkably quick and courteous. I will be back! Great place, it felt like home.
