My family and I absolutely loved this home. It has been beautifully restored, with warm wood throughout and everything a family could need during their stay, including washer & dryer, coffee maker and tea pot. It was easy to hail a taxi with the Bitaksi app, and visit many of Istanbul's famous sights. Bring along some dried cat food kibble if you would like to help feed the many friendly stray cats in the neighborhood and in Istanbul in general. I cannot overstate what a charming abode, in a warm and friendly neighborhhood, this home is. If you are staying in Istanbul, this is a wonderful place to relax and recharge your batteries.
