Very nice, airy, clean bnb residence in an old-fashioned neighborhood. Lovely park and handy supermarket nearby as well as cafes and restaurants. It's within walking distance to the Blue Mosque, Hagia Sophia and many other tourist attractions (steep hills, but that's Istanbul), but the immediate neighborhood remains very "local" in character. Host was available and very helpful but also unobtrusive, so you're free to come and go as you please. I had a great time. Thanks, Mert!
