This house is exceptionally well located a 12 minute, mostly easy walk up from Bebek or 15-20 minutes sharply down from the metro station near Bogazici University. Grocery and other shopping is available and ample at either of those locations. The house also has a good view of the Bosporus, especially from the small, top floor balcony. The four-floor set-up takes some getting used to, but largely worked for us and makes for good exercise. The main gathering place is the 3rd floor kitchen area.
