We were very happy with our stay in "Yasemin". A group of 5, we had ample of space in this comfortable and interesting house and appreciated that we had two bathrooms. The beautiful upstairs bathroom, the kitchen with the eating area on the second floor, the nice, firm mattresses, ample shelf space and thoughtful arrangement of everything made our stay very comfortable. Peter was very easy to communicate with before and during our visit, and meeting with Elio upon arrival was also convenient. Reaching the house required some climbing (as is often the case in Istanbul), and we also often relied on taxis for convenience. The price of food in the shopping district farther up hill were remarkably low for Istanbul, so we ate there and also shopped for some groceries. Visiting that area is also culturally interesting because of the high concentration of residents dressed in conservative garb -- some reminiscent of medieval Turkish tales. We would like to come back and stay again in Yasemin. Thank you, Peter!
