We had an amazing first time visit to Istanbul and Ertugrul’s place was just what we hoped it would be. It was me, my husband, and two children (8 and 10). They slept great on the comfy couch and the “real” bed was quite comfy as well. We didn’t cook too much as there were too many delicious options nearby. The liveliness of this area was incredible! We thoroughly enjoyed wandering the streets and soaking it all in. Despite being so close to the action it was calm and quiet inside. As others mentioned, the view is amazing and Ertugrul was a very nice and responsive host. Hope to come back someday!
