I've stayed in this neighborhood before and love it and Cüneyt has been a great host. After a couple days here I told him I was going to be staying an extra month in Istanbul but wasn't sure about remaining in his place because the tiny fridge wasn't big enough for me and I wasn't sure about the water heater letting me take nice hot showers. He was over in half an hour, showed me how to operate the heat in the kitchen area and water heater and a few days later brought me a nice new bigger fridge to use. Check-in was flawless and towels and bed linens are in cupboards in the hallway to each unit, as well as water bottles and the vacuum, all simple but thoughtful gestures that making staying here a no-hassle pleasure. I'll write more about the neighborhood in a post after my stay in March.
