We had a fantastic stay at Gerrit‘s place. Right from the start after the booking, Gerrit provided us with useful information about Istanbul, the neighborhood and practical tipps for transportation.
Before our arrival, he offered to answer our questions and he really did in such a helpful lovely and immediate way.
We were picked up by some friend of his, who showed us the way to the appartement. Everything was as described and looked as shown on the photos. Beautiful and stylish decorated (we loved the green sofa and turquoise armchair!).
The neighborhood was just the perfect location for us. Lovely cafes, many different stores and fantastic restaurants all around the corner but still very quiet at night.
Since it‘s quite close to Karaköy and the Galata Bridge, Sultanamahet, Üstukar and Kadiköy are convenient to reach.
We had delicious food and the Turkish people were so lovely and friendly, that we made our way home with a blessed heart.
PS. Go for a turkish tea by the sweet coffee/tea shop owner right next to the appartement. They hardly speak any english, but are truly nice and authentic.
