Salman and his team were a great help. Salman assisted in organizing our transfer from the Airport (as we were coming from the Asian side at Sabiha Gokcen - approx 1 hour from the accommodation). Someone was waiting in the terminal with a sign for us; which made the travel and check in process a breeze. The accommodation itself is in an apartment block which is located within a quiet side street of Fatih. Whilst there is not a great deal going on at all in the immediate streets near the apartment; there are some restaurants, a good shiesha cafe and a bakery within walking distance (approx. 200 m from accom). Once in this strip, you will find yourself practically facing the Grand Bazaar and the Beyazit-Kapalicarsi Tram Stop. Tram runs up and down Yeniceriler Rd frequently - and taking the tram East for around 5 minutes will get you to all the major Sultanahmet attractions (Blue Mosque/ Hagia Sophia/ Topkapi Palace etc.) however all of these things are a very comfortable 20/25 minute walk from the apartment. A taxi from the apartment over to the Taksim side (less touristy restaurants, local clubs and bars) will cost you around 25 TL (Approx. $12 AUD) and takes around 30 minutes due to traffic and one way streets. A taxi to the Sabiha Gokcen airport on the Asian side will cost around 130-140 TL (Approx $65 AUD) and will take anywhere up to 1.5 hours due to crazy Istanbul traffic. Be warned will take no less that about 50 minutes, so allow plenty of time. All taxi's are metered. The office in the apartment block is staffed 24 hours so there is always someone about to assist with any questions or taxi drivers who aren't able to find the accommodation in the wee hours :)

Salman and his team also offer a very well priced shuttle service to and from both of Istanbul's main airports (which are often far cheaper than a taxi, but only run at certain intervals of the day) and can help with tours and any other bookings!

Great stay!
