We stayed in the wonderful apartment of Serkan, Furkan and their little cat Zeus for over a week, and it was perfect. It was like we were living with our friends.
First of all, the guys themselves are incredibly kind, hospitable, and generous. They wholeheartedly helped us with our luggage, answered all of our questions, met us at the house, and were there for us in every way. Another of no less importance, they shared food with us, invited us to the market or a cafe, we cooked together, they treated us to a traditional rice pudding. In general, we didn't even have the feeling that these people were strangers. On the contrary, that they were our good old friends who were looking forward to seeing us. Now coming back to Istanbul, we will always have a place to stay.
Secondly, the apartment itself is great: it's two floors and it's very comfortable. Your room will be on the first floor, with a small balcony. The kitchen and the big room are shared, and we could use everything there like at home (watch TV, play PS, lie on the couch). The apartment is quite bright and spacious, it was very pleasant to be in. Of course, it also had wifi, and it was full for work. The unobvious details - there is a horn next to the house from which they sing namaz. You can't possibly find a place in Istanbul without one, but just keep it in mind. The neighborhood itself is quite quiet, many families live here, and there is a school and a kindergarten nearby. There's a bus stop 7 minutes away, 10-15 minutes to the mall with cool food and shopping outlets.
This is a wonderful location and I advise you to definitely stay here, you will feel at home. Thank you Serkan and Furkan for this awesome time, we will miss you guys a lot 🤍
