This is a great location. The entrance is a little shady, but that is Istanbul old city and it is expected. The host is great on communication and accommodation even though she is not close by, but ha lots of people around to help. The apartment overall is in a great location, but it needs some improvement. Broken windows and bathroom needs some work and cleaning. Two of the rooms do not have air-condition and the hallway air condition was not working, however the host quickly sent us fans for two rooms and the hallway. It has a good view of the city, but I would not rent this place to see the city from windows, rather walk to the city. Lots of place to eat around the apartment. For the price and location it all worth it.
