I really enjoyed my stay. Caner was a great host - very responsive. The flat is very comfortable. I appreciated the outdoor space. The flat is actually in Ortakoy, which was a little further out then I intended. But I really liked the area. The flat is near to Yildiz Park, which is a beautiful, large park. It is also close to the Bosphorus and the heart of Ortakoy. There is a nice outdoor market on Thursdays, which is only a 10 minute walk from the flat. It is only a 10 minute ferry ride to Uskudar (Asian side). Bus stops are close by. It is a lovely place to stay, especially if you don't mind being a little further out from the main Istanbul attractions.
