Meltem's home is such a hidden gem! Located in Acibadem on the Asian side, the neighborhood is quiet and safe and within 3 minutes you're at the bus stop and in 15 minutes walking you're at the ferry port. The house was exceptionally clean and comfortable and Meltem was a very friendly, helpful, and accommodating host. She gave me tips on how to navigate and where to go in Kadikoy. The balcony is such a joy to have tea in the morning and Minik the cat is adorable (she will welcome you by the door always!). I highly recommend staying here, especially if you're looking for a place away from the loud and crowded centres but still accessible. Hope to be back soon!
