We stayed in Kai’s house for 5 days and celebrate New Year there. Place is really good for long stay, they have everything you need. I really felt myself like at home and didn’t want to leave this place.
We had a night flight, so were in Istanbul really early, Kai’s mom meet us and let us check in much early. The day we check out they also didn’t bother us and let check out calmly. So I am sure that if you will need anything, Kai and his mom will do their best to help you.
Place located in city center, not far from Galata, Isticlal. Feels safe.
Apartment on first floor but really warm in winter time. WiFi works good. A lot of tablewares, towels, even grill pan, hair dryer. Beautiful garden with sweetest cats.
The only thing is: remember that it’s first floor, so all windows and glass doors go out to street. And you can see people walking around. For me it wasn’t the problem, but for my mom was, so we lived with closed curtains all the time, like vampires))
I totally recommend this place and Kai like a host. I am sure that I will choose this place to stay if I will ever visit Istanbul again.
