We really enjoyed our week staying at Miko and Roza's quaint, traditional, wooden house. The location is perfect - just a few minutes walk from an array of wonderful shops, bars and restaurants. Yes, it is necessary to cross a large busy road but it wasn't a problem as there is a perfectly safe pedestrian crossing nearby. It is also possible to walk down to the harbour to catch a ferry to the Asian side - definitely worth doing! The amazing Grand Bazaar is also within walking distance - we went three times - absolutely loved it!
Miko and Roza are great hosts - helpful without being intrusive. They kindly arranged an early morning transfer to the airport for our return flight which arrived right on time!
Only thing to be aware of - access to our apartment is via a winding staircase without a handrail so may not be suitable for the elderly, infirm or young children.
Thank you again Miko and Roza. We will definitely be back to Istanbul in the not too distant future!
