Mahmud’s second floor walk up apartment was great! We were literally one block away from Hagia Sophia/Blue Mosque/hippodrome, and were facing the water so had a great sea view as well. Great location, close to restaurants and shops. The apartment space is spacious and clean, with washer/dryer and dishwasher in kitchen. Mahmud was on location when we arrived and walked us through the apartment and showed us how to use everything. Beds were comfortable, temperature was great, and noise from outside was not disturbing, despite central location. Our stay was great and I would love to stay here again!
