We aren't new in Istanbul and it's difficult to suprise us. Believe me Esra's house was a revelation. As if we were invited to one of Nisantasi apartments of Orhan Pamuk. Beautiful, bright, very big (must be more than 100 sq.m.). It's like a time capsule. Even better than the "Museum of innocence". It's lively and lovely. Everything is preserved in the style of 60-70th. But the main thing is you feel comfortable. It's renovated stylishly, with all the amenities and necessary gadgets and beautiful beds. Every detail makes you feel that host cares about you and your feelings. Esra is a great host.
Apartment is located in a very good central and safe area of European side of Istanbul, everything is nearby, metro, buses, supermarkets, beautiful taverns and stylish bars. Even antique and food bazaar of Ferikoy/ Bomonti is in a walkable distance. Be lucky booking that place!
