Perfect location! These apartments are a great place from which to explore, and within short walking distances to many of the great sites such as the Blue Mosque, Hippodrome and of course, Hagia Sofia. Certainly felt like a local, and Yusuf's apartment was warm and welcoming - like a second home - after a long day walking around and exploring. Loved the place and love Istanbul! My husband and I will get back as soon as we can!
