Emre & Hande’s place is my first AirB&B during my 1 month trip in Turkiye, it is one of the best rooms I have ever stayed. The room & their house is so artistic, beautiful, and clean! Yes, the toilet is one of the highlights! Though the room is facing the main road, but once closing the windows the noises have become very minimal.
The location is superb, just within 10mins walk to the ferry station. There are lots nice eateries around. Their AirB&B guide is a good reference to start with.
Hande bought me a local rock band concert at the park of the neighbourhood, part of the proceeds go to the community cats, it is just so cool! She also recommended Princes Islands which is around 1 hr boat ride from Kadikoy, I had a great fun doing island hopping and watching sunset there.
I truly enjoyed the vibrant & energetic vibe at Kadikoy! It is also one of safest and laid back area in Istanbul.
Notes: The filming crew only came early morning on the last day of my stay, they mainly shot the living room when I left. Good that Hande told me 1 day before. You may want to check with them if it will bother you. I had a great stay with them I don’t think it would be a main issue.
