this place was nice and clean and in a great area of kadikoy, basically in the centre so soo many shops and things to do right outside the doorstep... it is up 5 flights of swirling stairs (as stated) and there is no lift or anything so it was exhausting carry suitcase, bottles if water etc up the stairs. Aykut as a host though couldn't be any better, was extremely helpful the whole time, any questions or requested I had he got back to me so quickly regardless of the time I messaged and always had answers/solutions.
