Enes was the pefect host. Answered all questions quickly, sent directions of different places to my phone. Helped us get a sim card and set up return travel to airport. Apt is 7 minutes (uphill) to the blue mosque and the T1 Blue tram which will take you to most of the tourist places and connections with the metro. If you go downhill from the apartment 30 yards there is a busy street with lots of restaraunts and shops and supermarket (small local one) with good pricing on groceries and eating out. Great location. Heat was good, (was cold when we were there) and plently of hot water. Had a problem with the refridgerator when we first got there but he replaced it the next day. Would recommend.
