Hamit’s place is very thoughtfully appointed - you feel at home the moment you get there! He also provides almost everything you need in an economically used space. There’s enough cookware, flatware, cups and dishes for any use (on top of a built-in dishwasher). With the washing machine, he also provides a big laundry rack, iron and ironing board. Good for long-term stays ;) The bed and couch were very comfortable, and as we stayed there during summertime the Aircon was a big bonus. We also loved the view from the balcony facing a quiet street. Perfect for breakfast coffee and sunset drinks :) Most of all, we loved the location! It’s steps away from the main bus and ferry terminal of Kadikoy and lots of cool bars and cafes nearby. Groceries with the freshest produce were also just steps from the place. Overall, I would recommend to anyone who prefers a more low-key neighborhood but still with easy access to rest of Istanbul. Definitely will stay here again next time 👍🏻
