We had a wonderful stay at Bahri's place. We initially planned our stay bc we were invited to the wedding of friends of ours but we used the place as our home for our daily explorations in Istanbul.
The connections to the ferry, several busses and a subway line are in absolute walking distance. The view from the terrace is really special: we often used it for sunbathing or a chilled drink in the evening.
He and his family were always very nice and caring and also very helpful when it came to wedding-preperations like getting my suit ironed or when my girlfriend needed makeup/ a coiffeur. They helped us out with translating to locals or giving us tips where to go to get what we needed!
I am not a man of many words, so to sum it up: It was an amazing stay at his comfy and clean house, Istanbul is amazing and if we would return, we would definitly try to stay at Bahris place again!
Enjoy Istanbul!
