The home is lovely, really quiet and so peaceful. There is a sweet house caretaker on premises, Nihat, who was very helpful and a lovely person. The island itself can be tricky to work out the ferry on the first day, so I would recommend to make sure you are very clear with working out details with Burcin to get to the island and on what ferry, and to arrive in Istanbul in the morning because the ferries slow down in the evenings. The ferries themselves are so much fun, and very inexpensive. Once you get the schedule worked out, it's awesome. We really enjoyed our stay, and it suited our family perfectly.
