The stay in the apartment was one of the highlights of the trip. It is located within walking distance of the Blue Mosque, in a quiet side street parallel to the coastal road. To reach the apartment, there are 2 winding flights of stairs and another shorter flight at the entrance. Because it is situated on a rise, the views from the living room, dining room, and front bedroom are of the Sea of Marmara. It was simply wonderful staring out at the sea early in the morning, watching dolphins through binoculars provided by our host. The apartment is high-ceilinged and thoughtfully decorated with art and leather crafts made by Mustafa, the host. There are antique covered containers, sieves, and pots placed at strategic areas that give the apartment an eclectically-decorated but uncluttered look. There are 2 other bedrooms at the back portion of the house: ample space for a family. There is a crib and high chair for infants. The washer and dryer are fully functional, with laundry liquid provided as well. Mustafa will teach you how to use them in the orientation. There are 2 full ensuite bathrooms (with enclosed shower area, toilet, and sink), and another bathroom with toilet and sink, but with an unenclosed area for showering. Where else can you find three bathrooms in an aparment unit?!? There are 3 WIFI servers that can be used inhouse. Electrical socket adapters are provided in the living room. Mustafa is truly a super host because he thinks of the small details that matter to travellers like me: a refrigerator full of goodies, fresh towels, local tips, and central heating for a warm blood like me. Thankfully, he met us at the entrance of the building and helped us with our luggage. He also checked on us the night before leaving. He is an utterly charming and thoughtful host and, in my opinion, is more than a "super host". Is there a "super duper host" category? I expect a hand-crafted full length mirror on my next visit. My only regret is that I only stayed 2 nights. Teşekkür ederim, Mustafa!
