I stayed for 4 days with Irem and Baret, and I had a really good time there. They were both friendly, relaxed and easy-going people, and they cooked for me and we played chess and juggling together. The room I stayed was cosy and quiet in the night. The location of house were close to Taksim square, so I walked to the square everyday and could go everywhere else from there. I would definitely stay this place when I go to Istanbul again.
