Fusun's place is absolutely amazing in every way!
Perfect and stylish apartment in the best neighborhood in Istanbul. Cihangir is full of cool restaurants, bars, coffee shops and antique stores, a favorite place of many artists. Everything you need is walkable, and it's easy to get to other touristy sites.
I stayed at Fusun's apartment for almost 3 weeks and from day one I felt right at home. She was so welcoming and treated me like a best friend. She stayed in the apartment next me and made me the most delicious meals throughout my stay (just out of the kindness of her heart), and invited me to hang out with her friends around town. Any question I had about Istanbul or the apartment, she responded right away and was so helpful and sweet. She is also so funny and cool! I really lucked out for having such an amazing host, especially since I came to Istanbul not knowing anyone. She also has two of the best cats I have ever met. Especially Batman, he became my little friend for a few weeks (he likes to hang out in both apartments).
The apartment itself is so stylish, clean and comfy. It has everything you need, including a washing machine (hell yeah!). There were some rainy days during my stay where I stayed inside all day and wrote papers for grad school...and I loved it!!! Since Fusun lives here part time (when guests are not here), the apartment is set up with everything a person might desire. A nice big TV where you can watch Netflix, etc, cool "mood" lighting all over the apartment, a nice little kitchenette, etc etc.
Thank you Fusun for such an amazing stay, I'm lucky to have you as a friend for life! I will come back and stay here next time I am in Istanbul for sure <3
