This was our second stay at Can's wonderful flat on the Asian side of Istanbul. Both our stays have been rather long term (2 weeks). The flat is conveniently located just a half block from the upscale and lively Bagdat Caddesi, with everything you need. His street is a dead end street, making it very quiet, since there's no through traffic. It's only a 5 minute taxi ride to the boat jetty to take you to the European side of the city or for a lovely day on the Princes' Islands. The flat is well-equipped - and when we needed a couple of things, Can's dad rushed over right away to give them to us. The flat has over 30 precious Asian and African sculptures and statues, making for a rather spiritual/inspirational ambience. We will be back again to our "home away from home" in Istanbul!
