This was the best location I've stayed at in Istanbul so far. Also one of the best hosts you can find.
He met with me to show me the apartment and made sure everything was ok when I arrived, even though I arrived late at night. Also he was available at anytime if I had question or needed anything. Really couldn't have met a nicer person.
As far as the location, its one street over from Bagdat street which has plenty of food and shopping options close by. And its only about a 10 minute walk to the sea. Apartment was quiet and has all the amenities needed.
I had a great stay here.
