Staying in Koray's place was so wonderful that I would like to come back here when I come back to Istanbul.
There are many good points that I would like to highlight, but the first thing that I want to stress is the view from the balcony! It was so beautiful and peaceful that I could stay in the balcony all day just doing nothing.
The room itself was also nice, very stylish and clean.
The area was also great, within walking distance to Taxim area, and I could find different nice cafes, bars and restaurants every day. There are several markets nearby as well, and it was very convenient.
Last but not least, Koray was such a nice host. He was very friendly, and was also very helpful, especially when he was helping me out for my lost baggage. Without the help, I don't think I could get my baggage earlier. And it was fun to talk to him each time I went back to his place and chat in the balcony.
There are many reasons to recommend Koray's place.
