The hospitality from Hassan, who met us at the apartment, was great. He showed us everything we needed, including where to buy a bus ticket (which you need to get before you catch the bus), where to get the bus, a good and cheap local eatery etc. The flat was very clean and just as cute as shown in the photos. When the boiler pressure was too low for hot water, Hassan came over and fixed it so we could have hot showers (the weather was cold and miserable, sadly). It's located perfectly so that the crowds are not on your doorstep but also not far away from restaurants, shops and bars, and close to the bus stop to reach the important mosques and palace in Sultanahmet. Great value!
