Wahid is incredibly friendly and is always around to answer questions, give advice, or generally chat. His carpet shop is right downstairs and he's frequently there, saying hello to us when we left for the day and when we returned in the evening. The apartment is about 1 minute walking from several smaller markets and about 5 minutes from an A101 grocery store. Sultanahmet square and the Hagia Sophia/Blue Mosque is about 6 minutes walking and the nearest tram station is about 8 minutes. The terrace has an amazing view and we found ourselves spending several hours every evening relaxing out there after a long day exploring. There are also several laundry services within 5-10 minutes walking from the apartment. In all - a perfect apartment with a perfect central location (but not so busy that there's always people walking by), made even better by a great host.
