We stayed at Huma's friend flat, they are really good hosts. The flat is small and old, but very cozy and comfortable. The views to the Bosphorus were really amazing as stated. It was very romantic especially at night with lights. The neighborhood is very calm and local, you can reach the sea side in 5-10 min by walk and there are many restaurants and bars. The streets can be a little bit steep for some people but it's how you get the scenic views. Overall we felt at home, we would stay again.
