Tansel's location was perfect for those who want to be in very short walking distance from the best sites. 6-10 min walk to the blue mosque, the Hagia Sofia, the Sultan's Palace. Maybe 15 max ... probably less to the Grand Bazaar. A cheap transfer ride from Ataturk Airport gets you to his door. Great guy, great English. He communicated well with us to get us there. Friendly, patient, kind. It also helped that he left us a local cell phone to contact him or taxis as needed.
