Burak was a gracious host who exemplifies the best in Turkish hospitality. Not only was he accommodating with my very late arrival (flight arrived past midnight on Christmas Day!), he went above and beyond to help me navigate thru a personal logistical issue. The space itself is perfectly sufficient and extremely clean, offering value: The view from the balcony is stellar, as is the location, which is on a street of chic coffee, antique, and art shops, mixed in with local character. It’s also extremely easy to get down to the Bosphorus waterfront, where one can walk across the bridge to the Eminonu side for Hagia Sophia, Blue Mosque, Grand Bazaar, etc. Thank you, Burak. I hope to stay with you again soon!
