My boyfriend and I stayed in Istanbul for a whole month and it was a REALLY hard decision to only stay 10 days in this house. The only reason we moved was to get know other neighbourhoods.
That’s how much we liked this place!!!
Very well designed and thought out!
It’s a studio flat BUT you really get the impression that you have a bedroom, a kitchen, a living room, utility room and bathroom.
And they saved no expenses on the quality of the materials, kitchen appliances, bed sets, towels, etc. We cooked a fair bit and everything was as good as back home.
Location is peaceful and cinematic. On a beautiful road that connects the old and the new.
You walk up and you really feel a wonderful culture clash.100% Muslim, sober tones, fast pace, beautiful mosques and tasty kebaps.
You walk down and time slows down. There’s a bohemian feel, every cafe shop is dense with details.
Where a 2hrs Turkish breakfast and doing 1km per hour feels, reasonable.
The main road caters manly for cafes and antiques but most cafes are cover with antiques! 😂❤️
We LOVE to walk so it was perfect. 40m to Eminönü and Karaköy/ Galata/ Cihangir.
But there’s plenty of transports!
We highly recommend this place!
Make sure you have dinner at Smelt&Co and Turkish breakfast at Velvet Café. Both minutes away from your new “home”! ( ;
And last but not least. Oskan, the host, is super responsive and kind. Grateful to have met him!
