Very close to all the important sights. You will experience Istanbul at its best. Mustafa is a very helpful and show great hospitality. Cleaning personal visits every day which gives you a bit of a hotel atmosphere. One door to one of sleeping rooms does not properly close and the curtains in one of the rooms could be more isolating since there is a very bright street light outside. I see those as minor problems. The stay was most silent at night and generally good to very good. The furniture in the apartment is very, very lovely. I believe this is a better experience than any hotel.
