This place is a great combination between a hotel and an apartment: You have your own place, not just a bedroom and every day you still get fresh towels, dishes done, bed made etc just like in a hotel.

It's located in the old center and it's an easy walk of about 10 minutes to go to the blue mosque and most other main attractions as well as the tram-line. There are plenty of near by shops and restaurants to ensure you will have plenty to eat. The nearest mini-market is in the street and not more then 1 minute away.

Saban also made arrangements for pick-up from the airport ensuring that we got to the right place with minimal efforts. Even though we arrived many hours before normal check-in time, we were allowed to already enter the apartment. The nearby hotel is acting as the contact and was also quite helpful with tourist information etc.

The only negative things I could say about our stay is that across the street is a condemned building, which is not a very nice view to look at from the kitchen or living room, but this is obviously beyond the control of Saban and would not stop us from returning on our next visit to Istanbul.
