Excellent location and awesome hosts. Hilal went above and beyond to help make our first time in Istanbul as easy as possible. She helped arrange taxis to and from the airport and sent daily notes asking if we needed anything. This was definitely the area of town that we wanted to stay in. Loved the popular restaurants and shops and the busy nightlife. The only problem was we were visiting during a 95 degree heat wave and the house did not have air conditioning. Although we had fans, the house was hot and sleeping was difficult. Would stay there again.
