This is by far the best place I have ever stayed in Istanbul, Turkey. First of all, the location is insanely great! 5 minutes walk to the Public Boat Transport, the Marmaray, Metro and Bus! I know what you're thinking; you have to climb up the stairs every day to get to his house and it does look dreadful, however, after a while you get used to it and you only bring your luggage up twice (when checking in and checking out). I love the stairs because after staying at this place for almost two months, I can feel my new muscles gaining since we walk a lot in Istanbul :)
The view is to die for; every morning I wake up and start my work with my coffee, I get to enjoy the marvelous view of the Bosphorus sea overlooking the European side of Istanbul where I can directly see Dolma Bahce Palace from the Can's living room. Can's place is also super clean, has a smart TV that comes with Netflix and many other On-Demand Live Streaming Channels. My best friend and girlfriend love the place so much and it's a great place to just chill and enjoy the view. One thing I'm going to miss is Can's Bed in the master bedroom; it's incredibly comfy and makes you sleep immediately!
If you plan on staying at Can's place, I highly recommend you to stay here for more than 4 days because it feels more like home. His neighbors in the building are all very nice and welcoming as well. It's a 7 star out of 5 for me on Can's home. I Love it so much that I even asked if any of the units are up for sale. You're so going to love his place. He was super duper helpful with everything and I can't thank him enough.
Thank you so much for your amazing hospitality again and I look forward in staying at your place again after September :)
