Baran's place is absolutely stunning. We stayed for a full month and the view just never got old! The AC's worked like a charm during this very hot Istanbul summer, and the garden/terrace was truly a treat to experience. We had a couple of issues here and there during our time - but Baran was the consummate host. He immediately worked to take care of any issues and always went above and beyond. His communication and constant support was invaluable! He even came and helped us with our bags upon check in and departure. I highly recommend staying at his home!
