Staying at Eray’s place is a treasure. It is located 5 mins from the newly renovated Galenport district, 10 mins from the best restaurants in Cihangir! It is super quiet because of the sea wall, and he is so kind and accommodating. If you are as lucky as I was, he can make you the most authentic/ delicious menemen breakfast.
Condé Nast should feature his stay as an experience to add to this list https://www.cntraveler.com/story/three-days-in-istanbul?epik=dj0yJnU9dnhCQ2ZTZnA4TzFZT3lKck9GTEdsTmpXVTJiZGExbW4mcD0wJm49OEFQOHZrMmp6RWx6X3hRbG0tRlRFZyZ0PUFBQUFBR0pwQ1NJ
