Very cozy place hosted by Murat who is very helpful if you're new to the city. The house was clean, easy to find and located very close to Istikal street and Taksim. It is a walk-up so in case you have heavy luggage, will be a bit of a task, though Murat helped us with our luggage. Murat has an amazing collection of books and a very beautiful library, sadly we didn't have the time to relax due to a packed schedule.
