This is a great location, very near a cool area, just up the hill - some excellent restaurants...Firuz, Kactus, Pad Thai & Emily's Garden....of course this being Istanbul...food excellent, friendly & genuine people.
About an 18 minute walk to the ferry to Kadikoy, about 10 minute walk to Taksim Square; just easy.
The place itself, v clean, comfortable and - very - spacious. Has AC, heating works very well.
I must say though, Sasha, one of the hosts went above and beyond in meeting my Mum who arrived very late, a day before I did, at 11.30pm. Was very responsive. He was excellent. Thank you so much Sasha.
