My second stay confirmed my initial impressions- this is an amazing place to live in Istanbul! :) It is very near to several Universities, stores and restaurants are in 100m range, and ferry station on Bosphorus is about half an hour of walk. The rooms are warm, comfortable, quiet, perfect for rest or work and studying. The most important impression is hospitality that Utku provides. He thought of anything I may need, gave valuable advices about neighborhood, Istanbul and Turkey and by that helped me a lot to start my life there. He takes excellent care of household, beds are very comfortable, it is always clean and every device is working.
Utku, I thank you very much for the warmth of home that you created! :)
