The apartment was in a wonderful community in the old town just down the road for the Süleymaniye and far away from the touristy hotel districts. It was quite hard to find using Google maps so I recommend getting a taxi or asking locals in the area for directions. The apartment was quite small but excellent value for the money. It would benefit with some more equitment like some more chairs and plates but apart from that it is well furnished. The porter at the door was incredibly nice and helpful which made the stay more relaxing. I would recommend this to anyone who is looking to experience Istanbul local life in comfort
