To live in Istanbul was my dream since high school. This cozy and great located place made it possible for my girlfriend and I to be another local in this amazing country. We had everything we need, from fruits and water to central heating and flipflops. There are plenty of markets in the area, as well as restaurants, shops, bakerys and transport options. The Marmara Sea shoreline is just around the corner.
Saban was an extraordinary kind host, he helped us with our luggage and gave us a ride to the metro station. I'm sure I'm going to come back directly to one of his places because it was one of the best experiences of my life.
