This place was great. We had an expected turn of events and needed a place to stay a few days before our reservation. I called to ask if we could come early and within a few hours we were meet at the house with everything in order and clean. The house is in a great location with a park across the street which is great for kids and the metro stop is just a short walk from the house. The neighborhood is nice and well taken care of. The noise around the house is minimal but it is not hard to get to the business of Istanbul. The house was clean and as described. The host even brought us some homemade dessert about 30 minutes before we left and helped us with our kids as we finished with our luggage. We would definitely recommend this place when you visit Istanbul.
