A wonderful experience in Istanbul!
The host Emre was a fantastic communicator and eager to assist with any questions.
The flat itself was spacious, neat and clean.
On the less traveled Asia side, the flat is located near lots of public transpo, only a four minute walk from the metro Fıstıkağacı. Atop a quiet valley with a panoramic view. The nights were so peaceful. The most important thing I learned, was there is this awesome neighbor just 300m down the hill called Kuzguncuk. I recommend exploring this hidden gem. Each place in this neighborhood is like the best of the best. Even one of the top ten kebab places is right there, and you wont ever see tourists there. Language differences dont cause a barrier in this neighborhood: the people are so friendly.
Emre's flat and hospitality is for the traveler who needs a bit of everything: tourist stuff to do on Europe side, a quiet place to call home, and food adventures at the bottom of this hill and throughout İstanbul.
