Everything ran well-oiled, out host Mehmet was always at hand either personally or instantly over the phone or email when rarely needed. The situation of the place is really nice, just a 10-20-minute walk from the Blue Mosque, the Hagia Sofia and the Topkapi, even the piers, the Grand Market and the Spice (Egyptian) Market are at a walking distance, but be prepared for the steep streets. Tha apartment was perfectly suited to the price - one small and one usefully large room, warm heating (it was 5-10 C outside) a kitchen with most of the necessary utensils (although a dishwashing sponge would be welcome when all the rest is given). Bedcloths, towels, floor and all the rest were really clean, the big beds are comfy, the street outside is quiet apart from the very rare drum&blass blasting idiot at one a.m. before your window. But be prepared for the muezzin at six a.m. - everyone will wake up to that first day but you'll get used to it in two days. Problems included a dripping radiator (it has already been fixed as I get), a missing shower cabin door (everything was soaked after we were over with it). But these are quite more than acceptable I would say, in view of the general cleanliness, vicinity to the important places and the well-working basics. Three days well spent, thank you Mehmet!
