Eray and Damla are great hosts. The apartment is very comfortable, located on a quiet side street just a short walk from the tram line that will take you to the centre of Istanbul. Eray and Damla gave me a lot of helpful advice and suggestions to help me to find my way around the city (such as where to catch the tram, and the best places to visit). They have a very affectionate cat (called Silly), who makes the apartment feel like a home away from home. Next time I'm in Istanbul (which will hopefully be soon, as there is so much to see and do in this fascinating city), this will be my first choice of accommodation.
