We stayed for a month. Nihan & Orhan were wonderful. They helped as adjust with life in Istanbul, I could write to Nihan about anything. We had a lovely time with them. It was always quiet on their street even when Buyukada was flooded with tourists. This place is great if you want to explore the Prince Islands, but a trip to Karakoy would take you about 2,5 hours one way. So if you want to explore Taxim, the place is not very convenient. But if you want a soothing calm weekend surrounded by sea and greenery, then this place is for you.
