In the ancient time of Istanbul, Ahmet would have been my best buddy - I resonate with his interest in arts and sports - but his extreme sports is a different matter. He is a national athlete for field hockey so the kind of discipline is within him - and it follows with the cleanliness and well-arranged space setup he created within the studio house. I felt warmly welcomed and his generous kindness is deeply appreciated - he shared his cooked meal which tasted good!
He accompanied me to the Spice Bazaar and also at hunting for coffee and tea. He is an amazing guide around town. Ahmet is filled with creative ingenuity - during my stay, he facilitated a marbling art workshop with 7 guests - I was happy photographing the session… and also learned the process.
The comfortable ambiance of the space and his friendliness made the stay like home. He made sure that I was alright during my check out and trip heading to the airport. He left a nice farewell gift - such a kind gesture that made the stay worth remembering and sharing a shout out to book a stay at Ahmet’s beatiful space.
