We never met Yuksel but Yuksel always responded in a timely manner and also organised transport from Sabiha Gokcen airport to the apartment.
On arrival, Burhan and Ugur were there to greet us and carry our bags up to the apartment. Also supplied on arrival was fresh fruit, bread, chocolate, wine as well as the use of a tram card for us to load money onto and a mobile phone. Many thanks for this!!!
They were both very informative and made themselves available for us on the 5 night stay.
The apartment was very clean and was as displayed in the photos. The terrace on the top floor had amazing views. The apartment is very handy to everything including the grand bazar, shopping area and blue mosque. Simply a 5 minute walk up a hill to the shopping area or turn right out the door, walk 200 metres to the end of the road and then turn left 50 metres and you are at the hippodrome by the blue mosque.
I would certainly stay again and highly recommend this apartment.
Istanbul is a must and a great friendly place to travel.

Thank you very much Yuksel

PS To do is the Tarihi Sifa Hamami (Turkish bathhouse) – 5 minutes walk and right by the hippodrome
