Tevfik was a great host. Five members of my family and myself felt at home in his apartment. His apartment accommodated six of us just fine. We had all the basic amenities that we needed for a 10-day stay.

His neighborhood is up and coming with many old apartments and houses being renovated by property owners just like Tevfik and his family. Being a few minutes walking distance from all the historic places in Sultanahmet in addition to fish restaurants in Kumkapi were the additional bonuses of staying at his apartment.
