Hasan's villa is a lovely place to stay in the heart of Kadıköy. The home is very spacious and has fun artistic touches everywhere including vintage film and camera equipment as well as interesting art. The villa is filled with plants which made me feel right at home. There is also a fish tank in the living room which we quite enjoyed (along with feeding the fish each day).
The flat is in an incredible location. It is on a quiet street in the Rasimpaşa / Yeldeğirmeni district of Kadıköy which is very hip and filled with coffee shops and cafes. There are tons of great restaurants and shops just minutes away, our favorites being Cafe Eya and Küff Cafe. The neighborhood is also filled with incredible murals on the outside of various buildings (including one right across the street).
The villa is super spacious and spans 3 floors. The kitchen is on the bottom floor along with one toilet and access to the small garden. The kitchen is well equipped with a large refrigerator, dishwasher, washing machine, and stove (but no microwave). The middle floor has one bedroom, a spacious dining room and one toilet. We spent most of our time in the comfortable living room on the top floor which has 2 couches and a super large TV. There is also a shower on the top floor and a bedroom with a balcony overlooking the garden.
The villa is an older home which has been remodeled and has lots of character and charm. The wifi is excellent and we had no issues working from home. Hasan is a great host and super repsonsive to any questions that we had throughout our stay.
