Murat is a lovely host, me and my friend felt very welcome. Murat helped me with a bunch of travel-related issues I was having and also helped me take care of a wound I had on my foot, which was very kind. Its an authentic Istanbul kind of location, so the street is very loud through the night, and it might be hard to sleep: I recommend brining a pair of night earplugs. Same goes for the heat situation: for those traveling in the summer, it can get very hot in the room. There is a really nice coffee place just outside.
