A friend and I stayed at Jack's apartment in Istanbul for two nights. It's in a conveniently accessible location. The apartment was roomy and well-equipped and offers a lovely view across the Golden Horn from the balcony. His cat, Shinobi was delighted to see us, and wanted to play.
Even though Jack was travelling, we communicated regularly and he arranged for a friend to receive us and make us welcome. We had a great time in Istanbul. Thanks, Jack!
