Özay was a fantastic host. He was so accommodating, and made sure I had everything I needed. - including tips for where to locally. We had some wonderful conversations. He's a very interesting guy, and very kind. His place is located in the center of Kadikoy and he is steps away from some great bakeries and cafes. Also the apartment is just a couple of blocks from a little park that is PERFECT for morning runs. Wonderful location, wonderful person. I highly recommend Özay and his place!
