I`m happy to have chosen Emir`s Art studio for my first stay in Istanbul. The location is not only perfect; it is like a calm and quiet hide-away in a very vibrant neighbourhood. Though it is basic, I instantly felt comfortable within the private guest space located on the first floor. Communication was always good; Emir is a very nice and caring host; he offered me a thicker blanket as nights got colder and to use the mirror of the bathroom downstairs. All in all: recommended!
