This is a spacious studio with quirky design and interesting art. There is good light, and room to entertain (though the kitchen space is very compact). The host is responsive and gracious.

If you're not fond of cramped, wheezing elevators (it's on the sixth floor), you might want to avoid this - but that's fairly typical of Istanbul. The promised wifi failed despite several efforts by Efe to fix it - normally this wouldn't matter - it's nice to disconnect - but we had been a week out of touch with work and really needed it.
