Very welcoming host. Apartment was clean and well appointed with fabulous views across the Bosphorus that really made the stay a delight, and it was a quiet neighbourhood at night. Very close to the tram station at Findikli which meant getting to the old city was easy. Beware the hills, though - the roads in this part of town are very steep and in many cases there are (high) steps. We enjoyed our visit and would go back. Thanks Ilhan.
