Oya was one of the kindest hosts we have ever met! She offered us a short tour of the neighborhood; it was very interesting and helpful. From her house, it was easy to go anywhere in Istanbul, a short walk to the fish market, Istiklal street or down the hill to Tophane tram stop etc.. Her house was lovely and there was enough space for four of us. Thanks to Oya and her husband Ned, we could really enjoy our stay in Istanbul and hope to come back again.
