We enjoyed our stay at Emre's place very much. The house is comfortable, clean, and has everything you need. We stayed in the house with 2 couples and we each had our own bathroom/toilet.
The sleeping room at the back of the house is very quiet, the sleeping room at the front of the house is a bit noisy as it is located directly at the street.

The neighborhood is 'lively', not touristic and certainly not unsafe. Every evening we walked from the old city to the house and enjoyed the local street life. A little supermarket, a fruit and vegetable shop and a tiny restaurant are just across the street. The street itself is a small street without a lot of traffic but the shops in the street do attract local people who do their groceries.

Public transport (buses) are within a walking range of 5 minutes and the metro station (Halic) is a 15 min. walk away. A walk to the Galata-bridge will take 20 minutes.

Before en during our stay Emre was very helpful and easy to communicate with.
