We loved Tansel's place in Sultanahmet! Tansel and his mother Meral were extremely helpful throughout our stay - right from leaving us some fruit and Turkish delight upon our arrival, giving us great information about the neighborhood including a wonderful local restaurant, and then seeing us off on the last day. The apartment is in a perfect location for sightseeing, the historic sites are almost right outside the doorstep. Also, Tansel was thoughtful enough to leave us a metro card to which we could just add money to use in the public transport system throughout the city. We could not have asked for a better introduction to the lovely city of Istanbul!
