I don't even know from where do I start describing the awesome experience I had staying at Orhan's place! I decided to book this place based on the positive reviews about the host and I can easily vouch for it myself. Orhan told me that we stay like flatmates on the day I arrived, and that is exactly how I felt during my stay. He ensured everything was as comfortable as it could be. A very clean room and house, with generous access to the living room and the kitchen. One can easily sense his artistic side in the way he has done his place. And as a solo traveler, I found great company in the conversations we had. He also tries his best to give you recommendations to go around. That he even helped me with my luggage up the staircase and to the bus station on my way back goes to show how he goes out of the way to make his guests feel at home. The location is ideal for someone looking to chill in the evenings in the buzzing neighborhood of Kadikoy.
