Great stay! Just as advertised! Aykut's listing is in the middle of a vibrant district of Kadikoy, you really get a genuine feel of Istanbul combined with many local 'hip' cafes and bars. Very close to the ferry station which connects you quite easily to the rest of the city (with some amazing views mind you).
Aykut was a great host, clear advice and very prompt responses. It was a pleasure and I highly recommend this place.
