We had a great time during hour one-week stay at this residence. The place is conveniently located in the Kurucesme/Arnavutkoy neighborhood, and had fantastic views of Bosphorus. The description of the house is very much accurate. All the furniture was brand new, and the bedding/sheets were very clean. Idris Bey was very welcoming and has been available for our questions.

A little bit about the neighborhood, we very much enjoyed our stay in the neighborhood. The house is right across from Galatasaray (Su) Island, 10 min walk to the center of Arnavutkoy (home to great cafes, seafood restaurants, art galleries), and about 20 min walk to Bebek, where you can run into celebrities. If you are into running, you can take advantage of a very long stretch of pedestrian walkway along the Bosphorus to the north. If you would like to explore the night life, there are several night clubs within 20 min walk.

In my view, this is the best neighborhood to stay in Istanbul.
