We were a large group of 3 families so we took the whole building with its 3 flats for 5 days.
In terms of cleanness the building deserves the full mark - spotless!
Full mark in accuracy as well - it is exactly as shown in pictures.
The best flat is the upper one; it is a duplex, sunny, big, has a TV, 2 ACs; The middle one is the smallest but it was more than enough, tastefully decorated. The ground floor flat has a lovely small garden but its bedroom is small and very close to the street - which caused a little problem to the family that stayed in this flat.
The people responsible for the house are obviously professionals; they are doing a really good job, knows exactly what guests needs.
Gaye is such a great host, communicates very well and always ready to help, attended to all our requests with a big smile on her face.
The neighborhood was perfect - the real feel of locals way of live. A completely different feeling than crowded touristy places. Everyone in our group loved its streets, people and local market....
Transportation is not hard (not very easy either) - a 10 minutes walk to the nearest bus stop - another 10-15 minutes by bus to Eminonu where you can go everywhere.
In short, I had been to Istanbul more than 5 times, and stayed in different houses in different areas; I can honestly say, this has been my best experience so far, and Leyla's house certainly played a big part in this.
Definitely recommended.
