If you would like to live between the locals, this is your place. Friendly neighborhood and great people, close groceries and they accept credit cards. Additionally, it is close to all the major areas around ortakoy and it is within walking distance from you. We enjoyed the bakeries near by for breakfasts a lot.
One thing to watch for is the ramp. There is a steep ramp to walk up towards the house, we had two kids with trollies and it is challenge that you need to be ready for :) it was okay for us.
Burak was honestly very quick in replying to any massages.
