Friendly host, amazing view on Topkapl palace, Ayasofya and Blue Mosque. Best area in town with plenty of charm of old streets, antic shops, artistic and young community , reminding atmosphere in Notting Hill.
Sit on the terrace and observe heavy boat traffic on Golden Horn and Bosforus.
Small groceries around, plenty of restaurants and cafe and the taxi station just in front of the house. 2 stops by tram to Spice bazar. You have to be in good shape, as the flat is on the 5th floor without elevator and is not suitable for small children, as barrier on the terrace and Windows is lower then the waste line.
