We like the location of the apartment, as we could walk to almost all the places in the historical parts of the city for sightseeing. The tram and subway stops are also conveniently located a short walk away. The apartment itself is basic but it has nice extras such as a big comfortable sofa, cleaning services regularly, and a shared roof terrace with a good view. The host Hikmet is very responsive, and he kindly provided us with a huge Turkish breakfast and BBQ dinner during our stay. We enjoyed our stay here and found it a good base to explore Istanbul as first-time visitors to the city.
