Beside that Yesim is a very nice landlady also the accommodation is very clean and nicely furnished with a equipped kitchen and a front room on one level and a bedroom with a balcony on the upper level. If you don't have a good sleep, I would recommend ear plugs, because at night time you might hear the street dogs.The area Kuzguncuk is lovely and a very romantic place (there have been a few marriages and photo shootings in front of the wooden old houses, whilst we were staying there). In Kuzguncuk there are a lot of cafés and restaurants, also a good fish restaurant with a beautiful view at the bosporus bridge. If you want to be a little bit out of the busy Istanbul, this part of town is perfect. Travelling to Eminönü takes about 30 minutes: There is a bus to Üsküdar and from there a ferry to Eminönü. We enjoyed our stay at Yesims place very much!
