First of all I would like to say many thanks to Amina, Mohamed and his wife, they were awesome hosts, quick response and very helpful, The apartment is about 10 minutes walk to the tram and you can get to all of the city's main attraction that way. There's a mosque next door and a nice park and a cafe nearby, lots of shops and restaurants in the area. Our host made sure that we were taken care of. Mohamed made our trip to Istanbul the best one can have.
