We stayed at Can's apartment for a month and it was the most enjoyable stay. The location is just perfect - a minute's walk to the famous Bagdat street, but also quiet and secluded. It took us just five minutes by Dolmush to the Kadikoy port and another 10 minutes to Eminonu on the European side. The apartment is so very clean, cosy and comfortable, it just makes you really feel at home.
Can and his father Ugur Bey were the perfect hosts - very welcoming, kind and helpful. Ugur Bey had some drinks and fruits waiting in the fridge for us when we arrived. Both would check on us from time to time to make sure we were well and enjoyed our stay or whether we needed anything.
I could write pages about every small detail that made our month in Can's apartment a perfect trip. Overall, it is one of those rare places that makes you feel belonged and gets you to think: "I could actually live here!"
Thank you Can and Ugur Bey for all your hospitality and for letting us stay in your great home. We would love to come back in the future!
