If you need a place amongst one of the coziest quiet part of Istanbul littered with numerous,small cafes, shops and stores to come back to after a long day of exploring Istanbul.. And the warmest host possible, this is the place. The place is 5-10 minutes walking to the tram/metro station, making it accessible to the rest of the city. As well as a 5 minute walking distance to taksim.
Our host, Murat, was very warm and hospitable, making our stay comfortable and making us meet his friends, telling us all the right places to go to and the right things to do. He was a big part of making our trip memorable.
The house is great for two people, and was tastefully decorated with books and memorabilia from all over Turkey and other countries. Basically, a very self sufficient place. The heaters do a great job in keeping it warm. It's a great place for a couple. Really feels like coming back to your own house after a long day in this beautiful city.
All in all, we were very happy with the stay, and with our wonderful host. Will definitely come back here again.
