I spent two wonderful days in sweet Turkish family. It was a very good and interesting expirience for me, just like some other Istambul sight.
All general mustsee places was not so close - about 20 - 30 min by public transport. But the neighborhood was nice - all kind of shops, cafe and restorants with nontourist prices, safely and truely Istambul city district, there I have walking a few hours just for fun.
So, perfect people, perfect breakfast, everything is homely-clean and nice location.
