Great location — very close (10-15 min) to the most must-visit spots in Istanbul. The apartment is located on the quiet street (traffic is pretty bad in Istanbul, and you would appreciate that cars can't drive down this street). The neighborhood is safe. The apartment is exactly what you see in the photos. Yusuf was extremely nice, helpful, and accommodating. He is a great host. He helped us with the airport transfers and was always available to answer any questions.
