This apartment is a great option if you wish to be walking distance to Sultanahmet Square / Blue Mosque / Hagia Sofia. There are small grocery stores and restaurants all around the apartment, all of which are usually open late and fairly priced. The area is definitely safe. The unit itself was as described, probably best for no more than 4 people. The two bathrooms and powerful AC were definitely appreciated. Farouq was extremely helpful and accommodating, the best host!
