This is a hidden gem. The location is quiet and peaceful with view of the Sea of Marmaray. Easy access to Kennedy Street which leads you straight to Eminonu or Bakirkoy. Getting taxi is very easy as the street is wide and not so busy. You can go picnic by the water along Kennedy Street and feel very safe. Very close to Kazlicesme Marmaray train station which you can take to many parts of Istanbul. I was skeptical at first, but it has become one of my favourite places to stay. Orbay is a very kind, respectful, and polite host.
