We loved our stay at Sultanahmet Gardens so much that we extended our vacation to have an extra day in Instabul. The apartment is very clean, is close walking distance to the Blue Mosque and Hagia Sophia, and the Grand Bazaar is not too far away. Tansel arranged for a taxi driver to meet us at the airport, and to take us back to the airport in plenty of time for our fight. (The driver was also great -- he was fluent in English, and pointed out good places to visit the next time we're in Istanbul. He also recommended a good restaurant that had views across the Bosphorus.)
