It was perfect! The house itself was a great vacation.
We spent a week on a family holiday in Ilker's home and it was really perfect. The house is very clean and spacious. It has an amazing vibe, very well decorated and cozy. It has a beautiful terrace full of green plants with a gorgeous view of the city. There is a hammock for perfect chilling time.
The place truly felt like a home as everything was there, all the little details were thought through. It is extremely well equipped, the kitchen is a dream.
The neighborhood is amazing, it's not touristic so you have tons of local bakeries, cafes, restaurants and barbers; yet it is very close to some of the big attractions (taksim, istiklal, etc). It's easy to get by, there is a big street near by (Kurtulus caddesi) with tons of taxis going through and a couple of bus stops. The metro is also close by.
Ilker is also very kind and helpful. He made our holiday easier. Communication is very easy, he replies very quickly and is able to provide very useful information. Thanks again!
