Cagla is a really great host. I wish one day i will come to her home again. She is really supportive and communicative person. We had great talks at the evenings.
About the house. it has really great location. it is very close to besiktas meydan from where you can easylly get to havaist bus. About 10 minites walk there is a ferry and you can get to any place by ship. it is also easy to get to touristic places by bus. I also walked a lot, if you like walking you can easily walk to Galata bridge, galata tower, istiklal and other places (about hour by foot). On the street by the house there are a lot of nice cafes, bars and shops. And i must say that the house itself is on the quiet street, there is no noise from bars or cafes. for my opinion the location is perfect
The room is light and cosy. I liked it so much. Internet works pretty good.
But the best in this is the host. She is really great person and speaks english very good! She is very open minded which is really great.
I also must say that i read negative feedback from some guy here and this is totaly untrue. Cagla is not that kind of person he described in his rewiew.
So, my opinion, that place is really good for a traveller. I felt safefy there. I totaly recommend it!
