Dilek has provided a small, but cozy apartment on the first floor of her building. It provides almost everything needed for the short stay except, maybe, microwave. The apartment was sparkling clean and the neighborhood looks pretty safe. It is 10 minutes walk from a supermarket, 5 minutes walk from T1 (tram) line to Sultanahmet. There are couple on nice small cafes nearby. No issues at all. I would highly recommend this property as an option to stay in Istanbul.
