I have spent 6 lovely days with my family in Emre's flat. We felt like home in his warm and nicely decorated place. It's even more spacious than we thought and was equipped with everything we could need. The location is perfect, less than 10 minutes away from both the metro and bus station and within walking distance to the lively Osmanbey and Nisantasi. The street is nevertheless quiet and safe.
Emre is a great, thoughtful host. We had to cancel our intial plan and could only communicate our new dates at the very last minute but he was understanding and helpful.
I highly recommend this flat to anyone visiting Istanbul.
