Location was perfect, 5-10min walk to blue mosq, grand bazaar, local shops and restaurants. You can go stay in any local hotels and the rooms will be small, if you want big a luxury then you'll need to go a bit out of the area, you are paying for faction here not a fancy room. Ahmed the receptionist was amazing, always with a big smile and looking to help, forgot the other guys name that works with him. Room Pay out is a bit weird, but trust me, so much to do and see in istanble that you won't be spending any time in the apartment. Shower has hot water, the air con worked great, cups in the room was dirty, bedsheets clean, room cleaned everyday by a beautiful madam. No view from the room I was staying in but I personally didn't care. Little up hill climb to get to the main road. Everything in the area open till really late and the local food is amazing. Room are big, but like I said the lay out is abit weird, in terms of the tv is up behind the sofa. Really quit during the night, no lift but most hotels and apartments around here don't have lifts, but they are quick to help you with your luggage.
