I had a wonderful stay at Umut's cozy place. He met me at the metro station and helped me with my heavy bag (many thanks!) and we enjoyed food upon arrival that his very sweet mother prepared for us. I felt immediately part of the family, enjoying multiple meals together during my stay. Umut was a great host, always available to answer questions. There are many cafes and grocery stores near the apartment, and the metro stop is a 5 minute walk away, which is very convenient for getting to and from the bus station or airport. The tram stop is about 10 minute walk away, which easily takes you to the major tourist attractions, like the Blue Mosque. I definitely recommend Umut's place for its great hospitality!
