I've stayed in this house with my parents for 9 nights. This house is very cozy indeed! Super close to Istiklal and Taksim, and has good transport connections to Fatih, too (bus, boat, metro). At the same time it is in the quiet area where only locals live, with a lot of small shops and local bakeries, so it is perfect for experiencing the local life. The house was very clean, nicely decorated and well-equipped with everything needed. The greatest treasure of this house is, however, Oya and her husband Ned (and, of course, their little daughter, too!): what a wonderful family! Attentive, kind, helpful, friendly and positive. They answered any question and solved any issue very quick, and Oya also regularly brought a nice Turkish breakfast. She even spent a whole day with us on a bazaar, helping us and showing around. They were much more than just hosts, and they are definitely people who make the world a better place. I am so happy to meet them, and sincerely hope to get a chance to meet them again. Thank you very much, Oya, Ned and Julia! :)
