This is an amazing place to stay. It's in Arnavutköy, which is a very pretty (and quite posh) neighbourhood next to the Bosphorus. There are a lot of nice bars and restaurants here, and it's a great place to go out for a walk or a run alongside the Bosphorus. Also convenient, the place is close to a bus stop, which will get you to Besiktas/Kabatas in about 15 mins and to Taksim in +/- 20 mins (buses 40T and 42T, leaving in front of the Park Bosphorus Hotel near Taksim).

It was really nice to stay with Omer and to talk about his work and passion, acting. Omer really made me feel at home and it was great to share some meals with him. His living room is great for watching movies as well. Can highly recommend this place!
