Beautiful home with an amazing garden, Umit was a fantastic host and Kazim (caretaker) looked after us so well, calling taxis for us, giving us all the local details we needed, picking figs from the tree in the garden for us, just fantastic! This place is about 40 minutes by taxi north of the city centre and an ideal location for a family with the garden and nearby beaches and a lovely boat trip in to the centre from nearby Sariyer (which was only 3 lira for a great trip down the bosphorous). I can't recommend Umit's place enough!
