This visit of nearly three weeks was my second stay in Buse’s flat. It has a very good location, away from the crowded, noisy tourist areas yet has restaurants, coffee shops, bakeries, and grocery stores very close. The Marmara line is a 3 minute walk and Bağdat Street is 3 minutes in the other direction. The flat is larger than the pictures suggest and the kitchen is great. Buse and Cenk are very helpful and thoughtful. The mosque next door might bother light sleepers in the summer but the neighborhood is otherwise very quiet. It definitely earned 5 stars from me.
