Can's family apartment is very cosy, warm and welcoming. It reminds me of my parents' house in Ireland (making me homesick for my parents!). Well equipped and plenty of space. Can was very generous in leaving some drinks and some snacks for us which was much appreciated (old fashioned Turkish hospitality!). If you plan to stay there for 1 month (and working from home), it could be your ideal place. One drawback is the location: you ll have to walk a lot - but taxis are cheap in Istanbul - easy for them to find Can's apt. The flat is beautifully decorated and the heating there is really good - especially when we arrived during a cold rain/snowy time. My husband-to-be loved having extra office space for himself (theres a table in the covered balcony (where you can smoke). The kitchen is quite compact and well-equipped. Excellent communication with Can. If we are to come back to Istanbul for a long stay, we would stay at Can's :-)
