Furkan's place was in a great neighborhood, with lots of interesting food places, Galata tower all within a 5-10 min walking radius. The space is a basement but has an interesting terrace which opens out and was fun to sit out for breakfast. The access to the basement was being renovated / cleaned as we stayed there so should be improved for any of the folks coming in after. Furkan was great and very responsive to any needs we had including arranging for an airport transfer as our flight out was very early. I would definitely recommend for folks to stay here during their visit to Istanbul.
