This traditional wooden home perched on a quiet street with beautiful views of the Bosporus is spacious, inviting and relaxing. The big kitchen with dining area makes for a perfect gathering place, and the bedrooms distributed across 3 stories provide an escape for quiet time as well. Mesut is an excellent host. He coordinated arrivals from 4 international flights for our party so that we could all get to his home easily. He was available for questions, suggestions and conversation, but never intruded on our privacy. In the bustle of Istanbul, it was wonderful to have this peaceful place to return to at the end of the day.
