This apartment is in a great location. The blue mosque and hagia sofiya are just a 5 minute walk away. There are plenty of small restaurants and shops throughout the area. The only downside we faced Was that the lights from the street are very bright and light up the rooms at night. I have already suggested to the owner to install blackout blinds. We rented a car and found street parking just around the corner without any issue (paid parking usually no more than $2-3usd/day). There are also car parks in the area. Expect couch and beds to be a little worn
