We had a wonderful time and truly unique experience at Serdar’s place. I was with my wife and two grown children. The apt is situated in a beautiful place in Sultanahmet. Three minutes walk is Kucuk (i.e. small) Ayasofia, a beautiful mosque with an adjoining cultural center and small garden/café/arts and craft area. The mosque/cultural center is frequented by tourists but orders of magnitude less than Hagia Sofia. A local neighborhood park is a 2 min walk, so you get to see more of the local people living in the area. Generally, the atmosphere is much more relaxed than the busier parts of Sultanahmet. Yet there are plentiful restaurants and shops, and Serdar, the host, also has a nice restaurant in the ground floor of the building where the apt is. For parking, Serdar will show you a spot on the street that is sometimes available, but if not, he will guide you to a small local Otopark (garage) available 1 min away. Our unit was in the top floor, up one flight of stairs then circular winding stairs. There’s a common terrace area with a few tables midway up the stairs; I’d say there were 3 units in the building. The apt itself has a minimalist style, e.g. very small kitchen area, but still had almost everything we needed. Serdar, who is very helpful and pleasant to deal with, will also bring you anything you need. I would recommend this place for anyone looking for an authentic experience.
