Great to place to stay. We spent a little less than 3 weeks at Birols place and found our stay very comfortable. The location was very convenient for us as it was really close to the T1 tram line (which we used often for everywhere) and everything was within walking distance (groceries, restaurants, shopping). Our favorite was that it was really close to the Fındıkzade Friday bazaar which is where we did a lot of shopping while in Istanbul. Birol was very responsive to all our needs and we enjoyed our stay.
