Yesim is a very friendly person and an awesome host. Check in and check out was easy. She communicates quickly and it was a breeze to make special requests for check in. The house is lovely and homely. The. Neighborhood was peaceful. Its close enough to the main road to get a taxi quick and easy yet far enough to not have the noise. The area is so clean and vibrant with traditional style that locals use it for post wedding photos. Its next to the only local park garden left in Istanbul. The house is located on a street which boasts the best kept secret cafe's and restaurants. Each cafe and restaurant is in its own renowned by Istanbul locals. You cant beat the view, quietness, security and the ease of catching a Taxi.
