I spent four weeks at Ece's place and couldn't have been happier with the host, the space and the location.
My flight was late and Ece was super accomodating, arranging for a friend to greet me close to midnight. Communication over Wasap was always easy and smooth.
I felt right at home in the apartment and found it hard to leave. The well-equipped kitchen is convenient for the times when you might want to self-cater. The large table is perfect for working, and the living room is welcoming. I slept well in the bedroom, away from the street.
The location is superb. The street itself is a mix of old and new, with many Turkish visitors visiting the hip shops, and a more traditional flavor one or two streets back. Many interesting places are accessible on foot. And public transportation couldn't be easier, with a convenient bus stop one block away and the Fener ferry eight minutes away on foot, with regular crossings to Karaköy, Kadiköy and Üsküdar.
In short: a fabulous stay.
