Selim's place was perfectly located and made our visit to ALL of the wonderful (and historic) places in old Istanbul easy. We were especially grateful for his willingness to book a van to pick us up at the airport, and then was there to greet us even though we arrived around midnight. And five days later when we left at 5:30 AM, he was there to make sure the van was there and say goodbye! His place was very clean and exactly as the pictures show. No surprises. We definitely would stay here again.
