We had a wonderful time here! Kazim very kindly picked us up in Fatih and drove us to his place in Eyup. He drove around the neighborhood a bit to show us the good restaurants, staircase down, bakeries, and grocery stores. Then parked on the very steep slope and helped us carry our stuff up to the flat. The flat was clean and had fresh fruit and some extra supplies waiting for us. The internet was fast and the two bedrooms were comfortable. And there were amazing views from the windows and balconies. We were there for the month of May which was very comfortable to just leave the windows and doors open to enjoy the breeze. Our favorite thing though was getting to know the neighborhood. We frequented a bakery, butcher shop, and vegetable market on the main level and a bakery and grocery above us. Nobody speaks English in the area, but they were so friendly and made an effort to help and communicate with us. This place is perfect for getting to immerse in the culture of Turkey. Down at the lower level, buses come every couple minutes and provide a 20 minute trip to Eminonu (Fatih) or 9 minutes to Taksim Square. The only downside is that this would be a tough place for people with disabilities.
