This was a great location for us as it was a bit out of the main traffic and circulation but still close to walk anywhere. We were grateful for all the help we got from the hosts, especially during arrival when our taxi driver didn't know his way around the area. Şeyda and Alexander were always there to help with whatever we needed and great suggestions. Kılıc Ali Pasa Hamam was a wonderful idea (thanks!). We ended up not cooking anything as there were so many places around with such great food, but we enjoyed resting in the living room after long days of walking and exploring Istanbul. What an amazing city!
