Great weekend stay. A whole house in an up and coming part of town. Bohemian. Totally authentic. A pleasure to come back to and hang out. Lots of space. Big airy bedroom. Interesting views. As close as you can get to staying at a good friend's place in Istanbul without feeling that your imposing. Small shops for water and milk close by. Cafe at bottom of hill. We like walking so we walked up to the Grand Bazar through the labyrinthine streets. Pretty much the perfect base for exploring the city. Recommended.
