Wahid is an amazing host, very attentive, helpful and welcoming. When I had smallest questions not only about his apartment but also about transportation, places to visit or food, he was there to give me guidance. The apartment itself is located in the best place possible. 7 mins to Blue Mosque and Aya Sophia, 15-20 minutes to Grand Bazar (very pleasant 20 minutes walk), 20 minutes to fish market. Right across the apartment is a great restaurant, I highly recommend to try it. If you turn right and walk for 3-5 mins, there are nice hookah place and hammam spa (on the right) and 101 grocery store (on the left).
Also! Wahid owns a carpet store right beside the apartment! My mother and I got 2 beautiful rugs. I always wanted a Turkish rug but thought it would be too heavy for my luggage. Now, I am a happy owner of handmade gorgeous runner rug.
Thank you very much Wahid for our beautiful holiday!
