It does feel like home. Great if you are staying for very long time, like more than a week. As I felt most the time comfortable and lazy to leave the place. It is in a good location, close to taksim and to get the ferry. Plenty restaurants and shops close by. The balcony was my favorite bit as I always use to wake up, get some fresh air and see what is happening outside.
Overall a really good place and Pelin a good host
