Being reasonably small the flat it is still great for a big family with colossal amount of utensils: cutlery, crockery, bed covers, towels, etc. The host arranged for his father to pick us up from the airport quite late at night and take us back. The street/area is more of local type busy with traders of all sorts with little shops of cheap tasty food. 10 min walk to the tram or 25 min to Sultanahmet. Supermarket is almost next door. Communication with the host was very easy.
