When I was considering this apartment I was a bit wary of all the 5-star reviews. How can it be so perfect? And so reasonably priced. And a good location? Well, it is. First of all, Mahmud could not have been more hospitable. He had maps for us, subway/bus cards, breakfast, coffee, washing powder - all the extras I expected to buy. The apartment is fabulous. Bedrooms with TVs in every room, spacious marble bathrooms, and a fully stocked kitchen. He even provides an iron/ironing board, hair dryers, high chair, children's toys...not to mention great water pressure in the spacious showers, plenty of hot water and great air conditioning. And most importantly for us, strong WiFi. The apartment is on a quiet street - on the same block as The Four Seasons Hotel and you can walk 1-1/2 blocks to the Blue Mosque, Hagia Sophia and the Palace. Very safe part of Old Town.
