Michel's place was great! The location is nestled in a family neighborhood, within a 10-minute walk of a ferry terminal and the Galata Tower/Taksim. We also enjoyed the private rooftop each evening that overlooked the Golden Horn. The kitchen provided all the amenities we needed to cook dinner. Only complaint was the hot water heater went out and we couldn't seem to get it fixed, though Michel tried to help us out as best he could. Would definitely stay here again the next time we are in Istanbul!
