Oya was very easy to communicate with and plan the details of our stay. She was away during our stay but took care of all details big and small to ensure we were well looked after. She was kind enough to leave us coffee/tea, large containers of water and even breakfast for our first day.
The house was spotless and looked exactly like the photos. We had lots of closet space in the bedrooms and lots of clean towels.
Arrangements were made with Oya's father to meet at a near-by hotel and walk to the house (10 mins) as the address is difficult to find by taxi cabs and hard to access by large cars due to narrow steep neighborhood streets.
The location is very conveniently in walking distance to Taksim Square. The only disadvantage was the neighborhood was not kept clean and very dark at night. The roads surrounding the house were very steep causing issues for those with walking problems or elderly and too narrow for some cars to drive.
The main entrance is located on steep hill which has damaged cobblestones/stairs which again makes accessibility difficult especially for those people with walking issues or are elderly like my grandmother.
Overall, Oya and her father were great hosts and made sure we had everything we needed. Her father was available to help us at all times and provided directions on how to get around the neighborhood.
