This is a great place to stay to explore Istanbul, only a few mins walk to some of the main tourists spots , a delightful house with lots of interesting aspects about it. Although on quite a busy street outside noise was not particularly intrusive especially after 11 PM. Giorgio arranged pick up from the Airport and helped with the return , a small corner grocery shop very close and a small supermarket a few metres further on , all in all cant really fault if for either amenities or location. Lots of restaurants between the house and the Blue Mosque area.
