Everything in Istanbul was ok! the apartment we got wasnt that one I saw in the picts but was nice anyways,big bathroom,rooms were warm,everything was cleaned everyday,beds made, given new towels. perfect position,behind s.sofia. I never met Saban but his colegue that was also nice. they organized the travel from the airport to the apartment and back. There were some mushrooms on the wall and one day we saw the glass door of the building broken,with lots of blood on the floor but it didnt seem to be a dangerous event.
