Volkan was a very friendly and easy host to work with – both while leading up to the trip and during. We got lost a few times on the way to his place (our phone data hadn't kicked on yet) and a few locals called him for directions. Some would think he would've been annoyed, but when we met with him he greeted us with a smiling face.

The pictures and description of the apartment was as listed. It was a nice, bright place to stay, with plenty of room and updated facilities.

The location is in the heart of Sultanahmet (where the blue Mosque is). We were able to walk to most things in Old Town and were able to easily grab the metro for things outside of walking distance. Also to mention, we felt plenty safe in the neighborhood. The restaurant staff downstairs were welcoming and always available if we needed anything.
