We stayed at Melisa's flat for 10 days and loved it. The flat is perfectly clean, stylish and full of light due to the huge windows. The view is great, the kitchen well equipped, everything necessary even for a longer stay was available. The communication with the host was uncomplicated, clear and helpful. Üsküdar was the district we felt mostly at home. Not touristic at all and not necessarily the most sophisticated place for shopping and dining, but full of little bakeries and cafés, a lovely park and several schools nearby - great to see the locals and learn to know an authentic neighbourhood. Several big markets on certain days and plenty of shops close to the subway. Consider the heels and rather uneven pedestrian streets - better arrive by taxi with heavy luggage! The stairs in the house demand some affinity for sports, but the view is worth it. Thank you for the great stay, we'd love to come again🙏
