About a kilometer from the major Sultanahmet tourist attractions (Hippodrome, Blue Mosque, Hagia Sofia), this collection of cozy housekeeping units had everything we needed for a one-week stay. Our room was equipped with two comfortable beds -- one double, the other twin -- making it practical for a couple or two single travelers, even for a family with one child. The owners (a middle-aged couple and their grown son, who speaks fluent English) graciously provided whatever we requested, such as a microwave and additional hangers. Size-wise, these units are more like a small hotel room with bathroom and cooking nook than like a conventional studio apartment. Within a couple of blocks are shops offering everything from cheese to heavenly fresh baklava. Alcohol is harder to find in this district. You may want to pick up your favorite tipple at the airport duty free.
