Esra's place was a wonderful place to stay in Istanbul. Plenty of nice bars, restaurants, and cafes where you can enjoy the Istanbul tea, coffee, food and drink culture. It's a 10 minute walk from the seaside and the ferry port where you can get a nice ferry ride to the European side or historical peninsula to do plenty of sightseeing. The place is decorated in a very cozy way, kitchen is well equipped, shower is hot and the balconies are lovely (but it was a bit too cold to enjoy them in early March). Thank you very much Esra, your place will be the first place I'll try to book on my next visit to Istanbul.
