  Wow! What a fantastic place to stay in!
  
  THERE ARE SEVERAL FLIGHTS OF STAIRS INCLUDING A NARROW STEEP CLIMB INTO THE APARTMENT!
  
  I've highlighted that because this alone would exclude it as suitable for some people.
  
  But it is so worth it for the views.
  
  The apartment is basic but very clean, comfortable and spacious. The kitchenette has everything you need to cook with, and with several small supermarkets nearby, it's a great way to save some money.
  
  The bathroom is clean and shower pressure is great. The water does on occasion turn off, but not for long and not often.
  
  The views! Omg. From the bedroom, the kitchen and balcony. Every window has stunning views.
  
  The balcony is a great place to relax to watch the sunrise and sunset, not to mention watching Istanbul light up as the sun goes down. The Blue Mosque is clearly seen, which is phenomenonal.
  
  Aydin, the owner, is so incredibly welcoming and helpful. And his neighbours are so friendly and helpful, despite not knowing a lot of English.
  
  The Grand Bazar is a 5 minute walk and the rest of the cities highlights are incredibly close.
  
  It's also basic. It's not the Hilton. But it's charm is quintessentially Turkish. If you have realistic expectations, you'll love it as much as we did.
  
  The surrounding streets are in a residential neighbourhood with stores. It is busy with families living life. Some people may not be happy with this due to the rubbish and noise (especially during the day).
  
  If you really enjoy experiencing the cities you visit, you can't go past staying here.
  
  We loved Istanbul and our stay at Istanblue was a big reason for this.

• Lisa from South Africa (1/10)

  The person was friendly and tried his best to assist us. However we did NOT stay at this property. We had to walk up a spiral staircase with small stairs to the 3rd floor and then up a fire escape stairs to the rooftop apartment. There was nNo safety rails on the steel fire escake with uneven stairs. . It was basic. We could not get a refund so we were offered another apartment a few kms away. This apartment was recently renovated but not complete. It was in a basement of the building. We had to walk down a spiral staircase to get to it. The front door handle was about to come off. Had yo battle to open and close the door. No air-conditioning. It had very good wifi. We stayed there 2 nights and checked into a 4* hotel, thereafter.

• Derek from United Kingdom (8/10)

  The exceptional views from the terrace from the apartment of the Marmara Sea and the Blue Mosque. Being able to sit all evening on the terrace and watch the sun set at 8pm was amazing. 5 minute walk to the Grand Bazaar and 10/15 minute walk to the Blue Mosque, Hagia Sophia Mosque and the incredible underground cisterna basilica.
