Our stay in Barbaros's flat was alright. We did not get to meet our host since an associate came to give us keys at the check-in (she did not speak English) so our overall communication was very basic. The flat is small, but quite clean and cosy. Central heating was not really functional so we used the A/C in the main room - the bathroom was very cold though. There was hot water but it took quite long to come. The kitchen had all very basic necessities, but we used it only for coffee in the morning as we were out all day. At night it was rather noisy as the building is found on quite a busy street.
The location was great, around 15 minutes walk to Sultanahmet square. The closest tram station is around 5-10 minutes walk (quite a steep uphill from the flat to the station) and connections are good. Thanks for hosting us.
