Reşit and his wife were very helpful and friendly. I only stayed at their place for a week, but it has everything for longer stays as well. The neighbourhood is very good, with a nice and authentic bakery/cafe nearby. It is quite a bit out of the center, but it's great if you want to stay in an actual residential area instead of the more touristy parts. Even though it's outside of the center, it is in walking distance of the metro, so you can be at the Blue Mosque in just over an hour. The garden is great, so you can have your breakfast outside in the Turkish sun. I would definitely recommend this place to anyone looking to see more of Istanbul than just the touristy areas!
