Murat's place had everything I was looking for and expecting from a budget AirBnB.
It's a small, cozy 2BHK apartment with all the amenities you'll need in your travels and it is located at a perfect location, equidistant from all the places of interest. There are plenty of windows which give you ample amounts of sunlight. The place has pretty, minimal design aesthetics which really worked well.
Basilica Cistern, Aya Sofia, Blue Mosque, Topkapi Palace, Grand Bazaar are all within 15 minutes of walking distance. There are 100s of eateries for you to choose from, a bunch of grocery shops and a lot of places of shop from. I would actually recommend doing youre street shopping from the shops situated below around Murat's place rather than going up and buying the same things at 5X the price at Grand Bazaar.
Murat was very quick with his responses for any queries. The check-in was super smooth as well.
