This is the second time in two months that we stay in Mahmud's four en-suite bedroom apartment situated in a peaceful quiet street in old Istanbul. It is a neat and tasteful apartment with a sea view. It is situated less than two minutes from the Blue Mosque and close to the Tram station. It is also situated close to many small restaurants that are large in atmosphere.

Mahmud is the perfect host. He was extremely helpful with arrangements, advice and information.

When I return to Istanbul I will definitely try to book this apartment again.
