The location was in a nice friendly neighborhood with many small restaurants, bakeries and convenience stores nearby. The place has everything you need with a nice balcony in the back to have a cup of coffee in the morning. It was a quiet location so you will definitely get a good night sleep. Easy to get a taxi just down the street and buses nearby. I recommend you get to know the bus, tram and subway routes. It will save you tons of money as taxi/uber drivers tend to negotiate the rates prior to picking you up. By taxi its about 15 min to Istiklal st where you can walk by many shops and restaurants. You can take the bus to much of the sultanamet historical areas and most of them are walking distance from each other and the bazaars too. In the end it was a great stay and our host was very responsive and last day he was super nice in helping with our bags. Thank you Mehmet. We will see you again next time we are in Istanbul.
