Saban runs a good business with his two apartment listings, A and B. They both have rooftop terraces and A has a better view than B, which justifies the 5 euro price premium. The apartment itself is no frills, a bit frayed around the edges, but clean, and with someone coming in daily to make the bed, do the dishes, and change the bath mat. I made tea in the mornings (a few bags of black tea were provided) but otherwise did not try to cook, though basic utensils are available. There is good water pressure in the showers, a comfortable bed, great light coming through the windows, and a fantastic location. The first prayer from the Blue Mosque is around 4:40am and a tower with loudspeakers is just outside the apartment window. I used ear plugs and slept like a baby. The area itself is very safe, i.e. ok for a woman to walk home alone after dinner fairly late at night. Saban was helpful leading up to my stay. He organized a private car to pick me up from the airport (25 euro) and to take me back (20 euro). Those are expensive prices for Istanbul, but I was traveling with a huge bag (business trips before and after my stay) and just didn't want the hassle. I left really early in the morning, but for those of you leaving at a decent time of day, there are transfers to Ataturk Airport (IST) for 5 euro per person (up to 12 people per minibus) and for 10 euro per person to SAW with a pickup location 2 blocks from the apartment. Overall, I had a great experience and recommend Saban's apartments.
