Zafer's place is located relatively close (in Istanbul terms, about 15 minute uphill walk) to the touristic center of Sultanahmet and the Grand Bazaar. The apartment is true to the pictures, but it's obvious that the pics were taken when the place was newly decorated, and it's been some time since. The staircase leading to the apartment (3rd floor) is quite narrow and there were various things deposited on the hallway between floors, which gave the place a clumsy look. Apartment was nice, one bedroom with double bed and the living room with open kitchen and two one-person sized Murphy beds, plus a couch. In need, up to 5 people can share the space. Access to bathroom is through the bedroom, so if you have people sleeping in the living room, this arrangement is not ideal. The shower is leaking water into the sink area and this might constitute a tripping hazard, caution is advised. Iron and ironing board is available, as well as a hairdryer on the bathroom. The open kitchen seems well stocked with utensils, but we did not use it at all, so I can't be certain. The host is really accommodating and helpful, a very big thank you for their flexibility regatding the checkin and checkout, and good communication. We were able to drop our luggage in the morning before checkin, as well as leave it with them in the day of checkout, and pick it up in the afternoon when we were heading back home. Overall, we were satisfied with our stay and would recommend the place especially for the hosts flexibility and good nature.
