Alihan's place is 8-9 minutes walking to center ( Hagia Sofia and blue mosque. The place is ok for short stay in Istanbul (2 days max) . My bathroom has safety issues : shower room glass door was loose and it might fall anytime. Towel shelve is not fixed and I scratched my hand .
Alihan's place is a hotel not a private apprtment , building is 4to 5 levels without elevator.
