Taha has built a beautiful and special home in the heart of Istanbul's cultural center. Unique in its design, with loads of charm, we enjoyed our time immensely. Taha is an excellent communicator, with great attention to detail, providing recommendations for everything from great breakfast spots to grocery stores. Location is walkable to anywhere between Karakoy and Taksim—expect some steep hills, but this is unavoidable in this part of Istanbul. Highly recommended.
