Me and a close friend spent a long weekend in Zehra's beautiful apartment to celebrate my birthday. We could not have asked for anything more. The space was beautiful and light and located in a really wonderful area. The highlight was definitely the roof terrace where we enjoyed many nice, long breakfasts basking under the glorious sunshine.

Communication was very easy and although we didn't get to meet Zehra in person we felt very welcomed in her home.

I should also mention how truly wonderful the neighbourhood is. You can find many cute and cosy little bars and places to eat all within walking distance. You are right around the corner from the Salt Galata where you can induldge in the most beautiful menemen (turkish eggs) and cocktails on the roof over looking the whole city. Istanbul Modern is also a 15 minute walk away.

All I can say is that our time in Istanbul was one I will never forget, mostly due to the nature of the city but also because after all of the adventures we got ourselves into during the day it was beautiful to be able to come home to a nice, quite space and enjoy the peace before a new day of exploring.

I will definitely be back to Istanbul and most definitely would recommend this beautiful apartment.

Thanks Zehra and until next time! :)
