Ahmet's apartment and hospitality was everything we expected and more. Clean, comfortable, air conditioned and well set up with bedding and kitchen amenities. The apartment is ideal for two or three guests. The location is great. Istanbul's Tophane neighborhood is full of shops, cafes, bars, has a vibrant night life, and is within walking distance of popular tourist attractions, mosques (Ayasofya), museums, and the Bosphorus. Public transportation is easily accessed and taxis are available 24 hours a day (a plus for early morning trips to the airport). One of the highlights of our trip was walking along Istiklal Street (just around the corner from the apartment) in the evening, enjoying the crowds of strollers, street performers, and local food stalls.

Ahmet's place is ideally suited for travelers who like to wander a great city like Istanbul from a convenient location and have a comfortable place to return to after a long day of touring.
