It was our first visit to Istanbul/Turkey so we didn't know what to expect but Can's place is just in the right location if you are planning on staying in the European side of Istanbul and visiting places like Blue Mosque, Hagia Sophia, Grand Bazaar or any of the traditional turkish baths. It was very easy to get to from the airport, however if you are travelling in June/July the 15 minutes walk from Yenikapı Station can be really exhausting the first time round due to scorching sun! Not a problem though, the taxis are quite affordable (for example trip from Taksim Square back to the place was 25 TL) and narrow streets of old Istanbul offer plenty of shadow. Overall we had a great time staying at Can's place and would easily recommend it in the future!
