Mustafa is an amazing host!!! His place is great! We arrived on a Sunday morning and Mustafa let us drop off our luggage before check in. He was always responsive to my questions, and gave us great tips about places to eat, places to visit and stuff to do. His place is absolutely charming. It easily fit us (a party of 9). And with 3 bathrooms, no one was ever needing to wait for a bathroom. The apartment is literally 2 minutes walking to the Blue Mosque and Aya Sofia. The Topkapi palace is a 5-10 minute walk. The tram to get around town is about a 5-10 minute walk as well. The apartment is stocked with everything we needed in terms of a working kitchen with dishes, pots and pans and kitchen appliances. The view of the Marmara sea and the Bosphorus from the apartment is breath taking. Mustafa was always available to answer my questions. Our 5 days in Istanbul was not long enough but it gave us a great taste of the city. I would definitely stay at Mustafa’s place again.
