The thing that makes this accommodation special was Murat. He was very helpful. Easy to get hold of, very friendly. This a great location. Also the small shops, restaurants, juice bars, are more for locals, so great value for money. A fun area to stay. True, like some of the other people said, it could be a little noisy, but you don't come to Istanbul for peace and quiet - go to the bush. Istanbul is so full of life!!
