Isik’s place is great! We really enjoyed staying at his apartament. Moreover, he was very flexible with the check in and check out, shared with us valuable tips about Istanbul and even provided a SIM to help us reduce costs with roaming. Unfortunately our phones were locked and we could not benefit of this advantage. This is a piece of advise to other travelers - make sure your phones can support SIM cards from other networks, if your are staying at Isik.
From Isik’s apartament we could walk all the way to Aya Sofia and all the touristic places located in Sultanahmet - a pleasant walk that takes you also to Galata tower, Galata Bridge, the Egyptian Bazar etc.
Delicious and cheap pastries just around the corner.
Bus to Ataturk Airport just around the corner (5 minutes walk).
Thank you, Isik, for hosting and showing us the Turkish hospitality and politeness.
