My parents, sister and her boyfriend came to visit Istanbul for the first time. Booking Sinem's flat for them was the best decision as it made their stay an even more memorable one. Sinem was easy to contact and responded quickly to all our questions. Her flat is newly renovated, nicely decorated and as bright and spacious as it looks on the pictures; with a large living and dining area, fully equipped kitchen, clean modern bathroom with shower and two equally sized bedrooms with a shared balcony facing a quiet garden. The bustling Moda neighbourhood on the Asian side with its many funky shops, cozy corner cafes, various pubs and great selection of restaurants was the ideal location for us as my partner and I live close by. But also for those with no strings attached, it allows you to explore a less touristy, more authentic part of the city while still having easy access to Metro and ferry boat connections to get you to the European side. Enjoy!
