I strongly recommend Oben's lovely house to anyone. It is based in the centre of Istanbul city with very nice places to eat, drink and shop around. The metro station Sisli-Mecdiyekoy is just 5 mins walking from the flat that takes you all over the city very fast. The house was decorated very stylish with all the amenities you ever need for a short or long stay. The co-host Engin was very helpful and very kind. Apart from Turkish, he speaks English & French, so the communication was just excellent. The place was super clean and very spacious with a very bright light coming to all the rooms. The house is located on the main road but do not be afraid of the noise, it is only busy during the rush hours: 08:00-09:00 a.m and 18:00-19:00 p.m as mostly flats in the big cities! Plus, the apartment is surrounded with great greenery all around, so it is quite for the most of the time, that made my stay very lovely. I will definitely stay here again when I'm back to Istanbul!
