This spot was really a gem. Lora was a great host, helped me find cool places to eat/ and hang out, and even picked up some things for me because I had a broken leg.
The area is fantastic, probably the best in all of Istanbul. It has an incredible variety of super cool coffee shops, great places to eat, it cheap, and near the port so you can switch to the other side of the city easily.
The apartment itself has tons of light, modern kitchen and appliances (not always a given), huge living room with a windowsill that cats like to sit on. Access to a large backyard garden as well!
