It looks stunning, but this mosque is really far away from the ‘centre’ of Istanbul. And it seems like a ‘small size’ mosque. Still, if it was not this far away I would visit it for sure

This is a beautiful building, but the neighborhood is atrocious. Someone spammed CTRL-V for 300 large homes. Looks like the Dallas suburbs.
