Traveling to Istanbul with my wife and mother in law and staying here has been amazing! We had sectioned off rooms. A full kitchen. And the hot water/water pressure has been incredible. The area is in a small alley way close to the Istanbul university. So all around you are good, vibrant, cheap places. The only thing that might be of concern is that the small 1 person room can be noisy given that it’s over the street, so if you are a light sleeper, take the queen bed room
