Thank you Aysin for your hospitality.
I stayed there 2 weeks and I really enjoined my stay and I felt very lucky to have had such a nice host.
The place is small but very cozy. In a historic house with a very nice view on Bosporus.
All shops are reachable by a 10 minutes walk, as well as the sea side is like at 15 minutes. just maybe coming back it is a bit longer because it is upper hill (but this is the price to pay to have an amazing view :) ) and the taxi are always a good cheep option.
The biggest added value here is the Host.
She is very kind and always willing to help.
She will give you a lot of hint about Istambul and she will always available for a nice conversation on the terrace. She will even cook a lot of amazing local dishes 😋 (I will miss her kitchen)
She live at literally the next door as you so you will never fill lost or alone, but at the same time she is very attentive to your privacy.
She speak English, Turkish (of course), and German.
