Sefa's place is a kooky little bolt hole. Very unusual and fun. Capacious yet cosy. The decor is sort of along the lines of 'crazy, sensual pirate, boho-style' I stayed there for 6 nights with a friend and we loved it.
There are so many places in this world now that are sanitised, homogenised... boring. Sefa has used his imagination to really create a space that is both welcoming, warm and different. I think it's in the spirit of how Air BnB should be. Little treasures in every area. Excellent power shower!
The location is absolutely brilliant- based in Cihangir area- I don't think we were quite prepared for how hip and cool Istanbul was going be, it blows Hackney hipster coffee shops out the water- the bars, the atmosphere the antique shops nearby were all stunning.
Sefa was a great host, very welcoming and helpful. He even left us a cake to enjoy!
