I was in Istanbul for two months and staying here for a long stay was the best decision of my trip to Istanbul. Sinef is a very kind and helpful person and the family (dog and cat included) is very nice. The room is large and bright and the terrace is fantastic, with an incredible view. Since they live downstairs I also had privacy. The place is well connected, it is a couple of minutes away from the Ayrılık Çeşmesi station, you can take Marmaray from there to go directly to Europe.
