looking to go to IST for 2 nights in late september. trying to stay some where in sultanahmet district walking distance from the blue mosque and ayasophia.
any suggestions on decent places to stay, a room safe would be great, as I have expensive electronics. also is there a place in the airport to keep my bags for those 2 or 3 days. as I don't wanna carry them around. and my final destination is BEY for a month.

You need to first stand in the VISA line, and then go to the immigration desks - many people when we were there didn't see the VISA lines. The way we came into the immigration hall the VISA line was beyond the immigration line and not easily seen.
