This 160yr place is bang for the buck. A real steal deal.
The place was really in a great neighborhood - Eminonu. All the modes of transportation are easily accessible. We mostly did the walking to all the places, even to Galata Tower. Ayasofya, Basilica Cistern, Topkapı were also at reasonable distance.
We totally loved the vibe of the house & also the warm reception from Kalen. He is smart, witty and knowledgeable. We had few pieces of great conversations. He is also very helpful when it comes to tips of the city. Do ask him about the recommendations (he has a good list made for it). I felt like I just a buddy / brother in Turkey 😊
