Can is a warm, caring and friendly host who respects your privacy if desired but is also always up for a quick chat.
The Moda district Can´s apartment is located in is incredible and in itself is reason enough to stay at his place. Bars, Cafés and clubs in between greenery and a lively, peaceful atmosphere.
The apartment is spacious with a shared kitchen, cabinet room and bathroom. The tools you need for cooking are provided. The room offers a nice view into the patio/inner courtyard and is flooded by sunlight throughout the day.
In order to feel at home, I recommend buying some flowers and decoration objects for yourself, as the room can feel a bit empty and liveless without some eye candy. Can lets you redecorate if you´re a long time guest and is always open for improvement suggestions.
Beware that the water heater is in your room and is noisy, which is especially noticeable at night. Can was very helpful regarding this matter however and let me turn it off at night.
One thing to add is that if you´re a very cleanly and neat person, the apartment might not meet your needs at all times - I would say that the atmosphere, location and hospitality make up for it though.
Out of my 6 months in Istanbul with regular changes of apartments, my stay in Moda, at Can´s place definitely was the best
Thank you Can!
