This was a very convenient little flat, with (despite it being in the basement) a terrace as an added bonus. Although off a large busy road, the street is narrow and in rather a peaceful area, with convenient corner shops for general groceries, fruit and veg, and baked goods, as well as a tiny but surprisingly good kebab place. The wifi was stable and flat itself has everything you need and made for a comfortable stay; although the kitchen looks out onto the road, which does have traffic, the bedroom is at the other end and much quieter, so sleeping was no problem. Ten minutes walk to Istiklal the main drag with its many bars and restaurants, midway between the tram stops at Sishane and Taksim - so maybe another 10 minutes to either. There's also a large and busy bus stop on the main road at the top of the street from where it's easy to pick up a bus to Sultanahmet or a cab to the airport. Oh - and last but not least Aylin was very responsive, patient and helpful, and check in went smoothly. Very good value, I'd happily stay again.
