Gizem was a wonderful host, she took us from the ferry, show us everything about the apartment and the must seen places at büyükada, even the secret places where the local people enjoy the most. It is an old but really cozy apartment, so close to the ferry and the island center. You go throgh downstairs and found a retro, cozy and peacefull place with a big balcony. If you are not animal friendly, you cannot enjoy with the balcony but if you are, it was so lovely, those 2 cats are so friendly. The apartment will provide everything especially for small vacations, we stayed for 2 nights and used the kitchen and bathroom without any problems. The apartment was clean but furnitures are little bit retro and old. It was a real island house experience :)
