This was my first experience in Instanbul and this location I think was great and very centrally located with all transportation, shops and restaurants. The place is very clean and spacious and was exactly what we needed. Mehmet was such a great and helpful host and really made us feel welcome. The only thing to bear in mind is that it's right behind a mosque which means the calling to prayer you'll hear in the early morning hours. But if you're able to fall back to sleep easily then you'll be just fine. If not, just bring earplugs and you'll be ok as well. However, even after knowing this I'd still book this place again for the next trip to Instanbul.
