This place was the perfect home away from home for me. Quiet and cozy, and a perfect environment to do some writing which l had to finish. It was really clean and comfortable. The room overlooked some beautiful trees. Berna and her husband Ali were welcoming and caring hosts. The area, near Dragos hill which is the location for some of Istanbul’s most affluent villas, is extremely interesting. The apartment is in a quiet cul-de-sac between the beautiful park on the coast in the one side and Cevizli station on the Marmaray line on the other, with some easy 10 min walking distance in either direction. There are no supermarkets nor restaurants in the immediate vicinity, but many can be found beyond the Cevizli station.
