Great place from which to see Istanbul. Good area to be in, but very hilly, which was a bit challenging for my injured foot. Great breakfast places etc. Taxi from airport cost 800 TL (much more than it should have been apparently) on friday night, in the dark, and we had to walk the final 600 metres with all our bags as the taxi driver gave up trying to find the place. The taxi on the return however found us with no problem.
Host was very helpful, responded quickly, and arranged taxi for return to airport. The flat had a few signs of wear and tear such as the front of the drawer by the bed falling off, and stove difficult initially to light, but overall in a great location and clean.
Thanks for a great stay!
