This place is a great choice if you want to be close to all the major attractions in the Old Town (Sultanahmed). It takes you about 15--20 minutes to get to the Blue Mosque on foot, for example, and about 10 minutes to the Grand Bazaar. The metro line is also about five minutes away (up hill). The owner, Yavuz, is great and replies promptly to all your questions (I simply texted with him through the AirBnB app). There was no problem in getting extra bed linen and towels (because we had an additional friend joining us for two days), getting local info, and arranging a taxi to take us to the airport the last day. Yavuz simply arranged for his nephew and housekeeper to cater to all our needs. I would highly recommend this place to anyone that wants to stay in Istanbul, be close to all the major sites, and not spend a lot of money on accommodation (it's a great value for money).
