Emre's is a friendly and welcoming person who likes to have fun and laugh. When we got somewhat lost finding his place, he was able to come find us and take to his place. Thankfully, we were only 5mins away.
His flat is situated in a popular and convenient area but it gets busy (understandably), especially on the weekends so you might hear some horns or other noises even later night.
You can get to many shops, restaurants, cafes nearby. There's also bosphorus bridge view, a huge mosque and seaside small shops as well. All of it within 5mins of walk.
The bus stop makes it easy to use it. Emre recommended to use Istanbul Kart (fo public transport) but make sure you have change as the machine accepts max 20L notes. If you're unlucky like us, get back with a change and then see no Istanbul Kart available then you might have to take a taxi.
Like most tourists cities you have to be super careful of scams, especially Taxis!
All in all, for this price it would be hard for you to find a place to stay in Istanbul and if you're to be out for most of the day then this place is even better!
