Eyup was a great host! He was very kind and responsive to requests and he gave us many great suggestions for food and sightseeing. Galata kitchen was one of our favorites! The house could not be in a greater location that that. More central than central, it made beyoglu, karakoy, emininu and much more areas that we did not have the time to visit accessible by foot. Nice shops and restaurants were all around as well as the main commercial road that leads to taxim square. The view from the house was breathtaking. The house is ideal for anyone that wants to dive into the heart of the European side of Istanbul and wants to have everything around and not waste any effort in the transportation means.
