Akif has been such a wonderful and helpful host, always prepared to reply to our Whatsapp messages regarding transportation and general queries! It was great to have a private terrace and it has a lovely view of Istanbul. Our only problem with the stay was that, as three women, the area was particularly male-dominant, we being the only women in the streets, which was a little unsettling. Also, there were many flies in both the stairwell and the kitchen, probably due to the pungent cheese shop located directly below the flat. Overall, however, good location and easy to get around!
