I stayed with Zeynep for the past 5 days and it was hands down the best airbnb experience I ever had. Zeynep was a phenomenal host (and now a friend) - the energy she brings to the room is just amazing. She gave me so many tips and good advice on where to go, what to do, what to eat etc. As I had a relaxed itinerary, I managed to spend time with Zeynep and Bitte (her cute little dog that is just bursting with energy). I had a huge dose of Turkish hospitality from her and her friends and I appreciate the great conversations we had ranging from various topics such as politics, psychology, women empowerment.
When I return to Istanbul, I would love nothing more than to return to her airbnb.
The house has an awesome artistic vibe to it with lots of space. The room I had was comfortable and I slept really well though it was a sofa bed. Everything was clean too :) Treat yourself to a true Kadıkoy experience with Zeynep!
