Staying in this location helped make my Istanbul trip the incredible experience it was. I didn't use a taxi or tram as every site was within walking distance. In addition, while the apartment was located right next to the main night life in the new city, it was in a quite corner and thus the crowds were not an issue. In addition, Aylin was a consummate hostess and readily available to assist in any way she could with my Istanbul experience. I will be recommending this location to my friends and colleagues.
