We had a very uncomplicated stay at Rutkay's apartment, which is the perfect base for exploring Istanbul! The location is unbeatable for first time visitors and really convenient for larger groups, too. The rooms were very clean and well equipped. On weekends it can be a bit noisy for sensitive sleepers, but the overall experience of staying in this super charming neighbourhood more than makes up for it! Rutkay was always helpful and proved to be a wonderful host.
