Idris is a very kind and hospitable host, in an unobtrusive way. His guest-room is very spacious with big glass-window letting in a lot of sunlight, but there are very nice, thick velvet curtains, that will block the light if one wants to sleep late. And I loved the location, his short street has nice big tress to one side, and it has a very local feel, even though it’s only a block away from a main, busy Kadiköy avenue.
Next time I come to Turkey I hope Idris is still hosting, and that I’m lucky to book in time to assure another stay!
