Biray's place is very cozy and perfectly located if you want to experience some true Istanbul everyday life, not only tourist smash hits. It is not in the very center, which is great to avoid noice and millions of tourists, but again very close to Taxim (2 metro stops, around 30 min. walk) and full of local shops, restaurants and all you might need. Biray and Zeytin (her cat) were great hosts, friendly, helpful and warm, and we are very much recommending their place for having a lovely time in this lovely city.
