This was a great place to be. The host was very friendly, great at communicating, and great at welcoming us as guests. He also helped us with some very useful information about our stay there. For the place solely, it is in a good area that gives you more of a local experience of Istanbul. The very touristy areas are a bit far and could be a long drive so you may need taxi or regular commute via the metro at times. But overall I enjoyed my stay at this place! Thank you for this experience! :)
