We were spending 10 days here with our child and our parents.
Let's start with the fact, that Aba is an amazing host, who was so helpful to us on so many occasions: whether while preparing our trip, or with his Kindly prepped starter pack of necessities for the first day, traveling tips around the Island and to Istanbul itself.
The apartment is very clean and Aba has all you can think you need in the house: from cleaning supplies, towels, tape, lint roller, band aids to all kinds of plates, bowls, frying pans etc.
It has three balconies, one of which is an actual terrace with a big table and BBQ.
The view is incredible. You can see the sea in three (!!!) directions.
It's an island with hills. So you will have to walk up the hill from time to time, which is not dramatic at all, you will just burn some calories of your extra Köfte ;)
Sleeping with opened windows was very pleasant and was possible due to the mosquito nets provided. So no insect bothered us ever.
The island itself is lovely. You can go for a walk around the pine forest, visit couple of interesting landmarks or take a ride around with a fun little electrobus.
People are friendly, fish is tasty.
Going to Istanbul center isn't a problem, with the ferries. Ferry ride yet long is indeed pleasant: fresh breeze, Turkish tea and coffee to buy cheaply on board.
From all the heart we can definitely recommend you to stay at Aba's flat.
