I stayed with family in Ismet's place, lovely place to stay, we felt at home, good furniture, TV and a kitchen that is equipped with everything that we needed for cooking. Ismet is always available to respond to messages and also managed to attend 2 minor repairs very shortly after my request. Check-in and check-out experinse was easy and he was flexible with hours too. This suburb is so good to stay for a holiday in Istanbul, great local shops and restaurants, walking distance to İstiklal Cd, Galata tower and Galata port. Can't go wrong with this place and would stay here again. Thanks for hospitality Ismet.
