First of all I would like to thank Murat for hospitality and care for us. We are a couple and we are traveling a lot. We have noticed when we are first time in the country. And this first impression is very important. Thanks to Murat this first impression was very good. It made our trip. Murat is a kind, polite, helpful, and nice person.
Couple of words about the room. It is exactly like on the pictures. Very good a comfortable bed, clean bed sheets. Small kitchen with everything we needed. Since we stayed for a week we cooked breakfast at the apartment. Murat gave us everything we needed: pan, plates and other kitchen staff and even blender for making smoothies. Good internet, what is was very important to us.
Location is perfect. It is the old historical center where you can see real life of locals. Many cafes, restaurants and bakeries (that was the best bakery products we have ever tried), groсery and fruit shops. It was so pleasant to walk around narrow streats, drink traditional chai and coffee, and definitely try traditional turkish breakfast at Boris'in Yeri breakfast cafe.
And the apartment is walking distance to main city sights like Hagia Sophia, Blue Mosque.
If we have a chance to be in Istanbul, we definitely stay at Arat Apartment again.
