This rental has everything. Great location, plenty of room, excellent accommodations and helpful host.
Nearby are coffee shops, an excellent kabob place, grocery storoes, baklava bars. The locals were very nice and many spoke English. Walking distance to Sultanamet and tons of tourist spots, restaurants, walking distance to Grand Bazaar and the metro line which will get you to anywhere in town, and on the other side walking distance to the water where there are beautiful places to walk along the water. Charming neighborhood is not strong enough to describe the area. Very quiet too.
Be aware street's are one way and hilly here, cobblestone. Also there are 5 steps going up to ground floor. Be prepared to walk, although you can also easily grab a taxi about a block away on a busier street.
The flat has 10 sleeping places. Extremely spacious with kitchen, 2 bathrooms with showers. The hosts left some soap and trash bags. You can make tea, Turkish coffee, and use microwave to reheat leftovers. We were 8 and very comfortable with common area, dining table. Hot water and ac were not perfect but more than sufficient. We are Americans with high standards for this though. Balcony can see the water, beautiful overlook. Washer also in unit with drying racks.
Ali helped us multiple times with transportation and made us feel more than comfortable asking for help. I would highly recommend a stay here. I really loved my time here.
