Communication with Faruk was great. He always responded promptly. We arrived at about 2:30 A.M., it wasn’t a problem, somebody came and gave us the keys.
The place is a 5 minute walk away from the main attractions in Sultanahmet(Blue Mosque, Ayasofia, Topkapi palace, etc). There are lots of shops and restaurants on the streets around the place. It’s a safe and quiet street, but be prepared to climb quite a bit, given that the whole neighborhood is on a hilly surface.
The place is small, but it’s perfect for a backpacking couple who only need a place to crash at. We had fresh sheets and towels, a comfy bed, aircon, which we used to warm up a bit the room, the outside temperature going below 15 degrees C during the nighs of our stay.
I recommend the place.
