Teddie's home was an absolute to stay in. It was so homey, with all the things you would need for a lovely stay. I felt like a personal guest in someone's home. The kitchen was the masterpiece, fully stocked with everything you would need and more, coffee machine, and she left us a bottle of their family wine, produced a little bit aways. We made a small Thanksgiving dinner in that kitchen, and it was perfect! It was easy to get around Istanbul from that location, and it's spitting distance from Galata tower, which is a must-see for the views from the top alone. She left great recs for food nearby, groceries, and walks around the area. I highly recommend it, and would definitely stay there next time I'm in town!
