Fantastic all around - location is easy to walk to Galata area in less than 10 minutes, or to the bridge across to the Bazaar, main mosques (40ish minute walk,) etc. views from 4th floor apartment are of Mosques across the river - beautiful! apartment was clean and as advertised. very comfortable bed. the city is loud at night but I think that comes with Istanbul, if you want quiet you must pay much more for a hotel with newer dual pane windows and such. zehra was great, immediately responded when needed, 5 star place.
