I had an amazing 2 weeks at Ying and Omer's place! The bed is large and very comfortable. The room is spacious, with a very nice design. The wifi was good, and I was able to do my live podcast audio shows. I also did some online video meetings and all was good. The room has a kitchen and a washing machine, which was very helpful for me. The location was close the main places I needed to go to. 10-15min walk to Taksim and Istiklal street, around 20min to the big lake which is amazing for walk, reading or contemplation. Access to the public transportation was easy, it's 2min walk to a bus station where you also find shuttles, and 15min walk to the metro station. Omer is very friendly, cares about his guests and showed amazing hospitality. He went beyond what I expected and helped with getting an extra tool for the kitchen, getting some needed information for my travel, and getting a package that was sent from abroad. I look forward to staying here again when I'm back to Istanbul!
