The place was very nice and comfortable, and was as shown on the pictures. Our host was wonderful and very helpful with everything. You can expect great hospitality from the host. The neighborhood is very authentic. Great location on the Golden Horn. You're never too far away from all types of public transpiration. I'd say that it's good for about a week or two as you'd miss out on cooking. The lively local street is one of the most pleasant places to be early in the morning or late at night. I would definitely recommend staying here again!
