As a family group of three couples, we found this apartment homely and ideally located for top tourist attractions (5 minutes to the Blue Mosque) and easy walking distance of many restaurants and cafes. Each bedroom had its own bathroom and the lounge area and dining room had great views of the Bosphorus. The apartment was on the second floor up a steep staircase and while not a problem for us, it may be difficult for some. The apartment was adequately furnished and the host, Mustafa, was very friendly and keen to help to make our stay in Istanbul as enjoyable as possible.
