We had a fantastic time at the apartment of Emre and Hande and felt like at home with friends! Our hosts were lovely with us, friendly, helpful, and very easygoing. We had a very enriching cultural exchange with them, learning a lot about the new times that Turkey is living.

The area, Kadikoy, is really full of life, vibrant, perfect for going out at night for a beer aside the classic destinations for tourists. We enjoyed a lot living as local people, going for shopping in the neighbourhood, having breakfast in the wonderful little caffe of Moda Street, feeling the atmosphere of the Bohemian area... The only less positive point is that the location is far from Attaturk airport, but if you arrive during the day, you can combine taxi + Ido ferry at Korkakoy (ask the hosts for more detail), and it is much faster.

The decoration of the flat is amazing and full of taste and inspiration! It's true that one of the rooms is a bit noisy at night, but also it's true that we were so tired that did not really realize. Even if we were traveling with a baby, Emre, Hande and Ali were lovely with us, helping us in every moment, and took care of not smoking when the baby was close there.

I strongly recommend this flat for an alternative experience of Istanbul, living in a full-of-charm flat in the most bohemian area of Istanbul, enjoying the artistic way of being of the hosts and their warm company!
