Taner and Nicola provide a nice one-room apartment on the top floor with a great view from the terrace. We only met Nicola, who is an excellent host and concerned about his guests. The price for the flat is reasonable and one does not even need to spend money for public transport in an around Beyoglu, as most districts are within walking-distance (Cihangir, Galata, Kadiköy etc.). The one drawback is a shaky internet connection, but Nicola promised that a better one is coming.
