If you want not only to rush around historical buildings and museums among the endless touristic crowd, but also to feel a bit different rhythm of this city, more comfortable and relaxed, then stay at Obada’s place in Kadıköy.
His apartment is extraordinary, it’s cozy, spacious, with many details on which you want to look at again and again. It also has my personal favorite - a giant Terrace, where you can easily and unexpectedly for yourself spend more than one hour. or even more than two.
It’s perfectly located also, from any window of this apartment you will see a beautiful view by cozy streets with coffee shops, where locals slowly drink their çay, and the aroma of freshly baked simit hovers in the air. And if you can’t wait to look at some Istanbul attractions, then it’s not so hard to do, you just need to spend about 20 minutes on a scenic ferry ride and here you are, ready to see Galata or Ayasofya.
I am grateful to Obada’s hospitality, he is always ready to help with any questions which you have. In addition, he is a very interesting person and a great storyteller, it was a pleasure for me to spend some evenings among him and his friends.
During my stay here, I felt myself completely like at home, I was comfortable, safe, and very relaxed, so if you are looking for something similar for yourself, then this is literally the best choice for you to stay in Istanbul.
