5 stars across the board! had a stellar stay at murat's place. the house is comfortable, immaculately clean, and has a lovely view to the bosphorous. the neighborhood is just a short walk to all the cafes, restaurants, shops and bars. however, it's the hospitality that stands out above all else. ahem is a star! a super good guy, who lives just downstairs. he arranged transportation, checked in often, and offered to take me on a tour or shopping. such a sweet guy! i highly recommend this place if you're looking for a peaceful stay away from the crowds. thank you for hosting me!
