We really loved Yesims beautiful restored house in Kuzguncuk. It combines traditional architecture with all modern living comfort: effective heating, nice bathroom and a well equipped kitchen. Even the dogs an cats on the street were very tired and slept during the nights ;-) Kuzguncuk is a charming small neighbourhood, which seemed to us like a "sakli vadi" (hidden valley) in this vibrant city. You will find 2 bakeries, 3 (!) pharmacies, 3 fish restaurants and a lot of little food courts on the main street just around the corner. Getting around is also easy: take a 10 min walk or a 6 TL taxi ride to Üsküdar where you can catch ferries to many destinations on the European side.
