Saban was very courteous host. As we were unable to be accommodated in the apartment with the balcony,he put us in a very nice alternative apartment close by, insisted on us having free breakfasts in his hotel next door each day and arranged an airport transfer on our departure. His place was very clean with great facilities. The wi fi was the fastest we have encountered so far on this trip. Everything we needed was provided. His area. Is very close to all the major attractions in old istanbul and we could walk everywhere. We also purchased Istanbul Kart tickets which covered all public transport, ferries etc. we had a great time in Istanbul..thanks Saban....paul and sue tracey
