Was a pleasure to stay in Aysun’s apartment! She was lovely and greeted us on arrival and departure. Her home has an amazing view and was very nicely furnished and was very clean and well organised. We had access to full kitchen equipment so it was nice to cook during our stay. The neighbourhood is nice and not touristy, so you get a feel for the real side of local Istanbul! We visited Büyükada island on our stay which was easily accessible by ferry from Kartal.
