Mubarek and his brother were very friendly and helpful. Finding the apartment building was easy, and Mubarek was there to take me upstairs and get settled in the room. The room was fairly large, with air conditioning, a television, and a large queen size bed. There was also a small balcony with two chairs and a table and a fantastic view of Sultanahmet market and the Bosphorus. It was quite clean, and very good value for money. The market below is very busy but the apartment is surprisingly quiet and peaceful. The hosts don't speak English but we were able to communicate using translators on our phones. I would recommend this place and stay here again.
