The best thing about Istanbul was coming home to this apartment. (And I love Istanbul.) It’s worth the five story ascent, and I was so comfortable it was hard to leave the house.
Honestly, it makes no sense to stay anywhere else. This is not one of those generic AirBnbs — it’s a home. The apartment is filled with light and air and sun, the rooms are warm and cosy in December, and there’s enough privacy for four people to comfortably share the space. I loved being surrounded by all the beautiful plants.
And then, of course, there’s the view.
In the morning, you should make yourself a coffee, sit in the balcony, and lose yourself in some of the most spectacular sunrises you will ever see.
The kitchen is stocked with anything a serious cook would want, the bathroom is large, and the shower is perfect.
I have been so happy here, and I know you will be too. But my favourite part of the apartment are Quentin and Delara — I’m now so proud to call them my friends.
