Tansel is a very good host, helpful, informative and responsive. He was waiting to receive us at 1130 pm. On his advice we immediately went out to enjoy the Ramzan festivities near the Blue mosque which we would not have known otherwise.
The location of the apartment is such that one can walk to any of the important sites in the old district in 10-15 minutes. The apartment is however smaller than what it looks. There is no ventilation or view from the rooms. The larger room does not have AC or fan. A table fan was provided on request. The bathroom is also quite small. There is no means to prepare meals. However there are several restaurants are in the vicinity.
