This is a nice flat with small kitchen and bathroom that also offers a covered, long terrace and direct access to a garden with many flowers, a hammock and a huge mulberry tree. There is a very nice view of the Bosphorus in the distance and the skyscrapers on the European side. Especially in the evening, the view is quite spectacular. The setting is almost rural in character, you would not believe you are not far from a big city. The bus from Üsküdar harbour stops exactly in front of the house, it takes you about half an hour to get there. Aydoğan is a very friendly host, always ready to help. He loves his garden, waters the plants and takes care of the plants. There is also a very sweet dog which sometimes comes. Some pigeons are kept on the premises, but in a little house. And you can spot the occasional lizard, a cat and a dove. Supermarkets, pharmacy, vegetable sellers are all within walking distance, like ten minutes. Anadolu Hisarı, the historic castle near the Bosphorus is like a 15-minute-walk away.
