I spent a great time in Ezgis room under the roof and can highly recommend to stay there! Everything was as described and better! I planned to stay shortly and ended up staying much longer. Ezgi and her parents are lovely people, very friendly and helpful, easy to communicate with, they really made me feel like home.
I enjoyed the peaceful and quiet terrace with calming bird sounds and the view on the Bosporus and the bridge is even more impressive then on the photos. There is also the beautiful family terraces which have shadow if needed. Sometimes a car will pass by the street and sell fruits.
Yeniköy is a nice little neighbourhood where you can feel like a local, with lots of coffeeshops and good restaurants. There is other areas to discover close by, Emirgan f.ex., there is a beautiful park which I recommend and the stunning Sakip Sabanci Museum.
For my trips to the center I loved taking the ferry from Istinye which is just 12 minutes walk from the house, which takes you along the European coast of Bosporus but you can watch both sides with amazing castles and villas. Its definitely worth to hop off in some of the places, Bebek or Arnavutköy f.ex. From the Yeniköy Ferry station you can go the Asian side. I went to have fish in Anadolu Kavagi f.ex.
I could go on but you can discover yourself.
I had really a wonderful experience and hope to come back.
If you have any questions beforehand I am sure Ezgi will answer and help you.
P.S. for animal lovers: I fell in love with their 2 cats who stay outside and the friendly dog who lives downstairs 💕
