We had a nice stay at Farouqs place.
It was a quiet neighbourhood pretty close to Blue mosque and Cucuk Haggia Sofia. There is a nice park to take kids out just a minute away.
Farouq arranged his friend to let us in and was ready to help. We came by our car and Farouq's friend helped us find appropriate parking spot near the apartment.
The price for the apartment was really low but it was offset with a high cleaning fee - this combination makes this place perfect for longer stays.
High cleaning fee is also a plus these days as it gives you a sense of security - The place felt clean and fresh.
Don't expect too much from the restaurants nearby as they tend to be on the pricey side of scales and anti covid measures make it hard to appreciate the restaurant atmosphere (when we were there restaurants were only permitted to cook the food and pack it).
All in all - it was really pleasant place to stay and would come here again!
Thanks Farouq and Murat!
