Taner is truly a great host. When I was paying dearly for roaming he lent me a mobile hot spot router, that I could carry with me and have wi-fi on the go. His apartment is a mere 3 minutes from Blue Mosque, maybe 5 min from Hagia Sophia and so from the sea of Marmara. The grocery shop and nice restaurant are maybe 20 m away, round the corner. Taxi/shuttle bus stop 300 m down the street. Absolutely perfect location. The apartment is small but clean and cosy and you can see the sea and Asian side of Istanbul from the balcony. I will definitely be back
