About the Place

🌈 Welcome to your queer-friendly home in the heart of Istanbul! This bright private room is part of a spacious duplex apartment in Kurtuluş, one of the city’s most authentic, creative, and centrally located neighborhoods. The area is vibrant yet peaceful, with cozy cafés, bakeries, vintage shops, local markets, and green parks just steps away. Just a 10-minute walk takes you to Osmanbey metro station or Taksim Square and bus lines, connecting you easily to Nişantaşı, the Bosphorus, and Galata’s nightlife.
🚪 The Apartment:
A stylish duplex with 3 bedrooms, 2 bathrooms (one shared), a kitchen, and a cozy living room opening to a terrace with stunning views of central Istanbul (both day and night).
🛏 Your room features:
• A comfortable double bed (ideal for relaxation after a day in the city).
• Access to a bright shared bathroom with a shower.
• A fully private, calm, clean, and friendly atmosphere.
🏠 Shared spaces include:
• A fully equipped kitchen.
• A cozy living room with terrace access.
• A breathtaking city-view terrace (ideal for morning coffee or sunset chats).
☕ Breakfast & Extras:
• Start your day the Italian way (breakfast is on the house)! Enjoy espresso from a moka pot (and yes, I’ll happily show you how it works if you’ve never tried it before), along with orange juice, milk, chocolate croissant, and cereals.
• Fast Wi-Fi.
• Fan and heating for comfort in all seasons.
🐈 Meet the Flat’s Sweetheart:
• Yes, there’s a house cat, and he’s part of the charm.
• He is calm, cuddly, and an absolute sweetheart who loves gentle company (and gives lots of kisses if you offer him snacks).
• He’s clean, quiet, and will probably curl up near you during breakfast if you let him.
💫 The Vibe:
With a blend of Italian warmth and Turkish character, the flat offers a welcoming, stylish, and relaxed atmosphere. Think of it as a mix between a creative queer hub and a cozy Italian home, where you can unwind, recharge, and maybe share a glass of wine or a story on the terrace as the city lights up below. If you value respect, authenticity, and good vibes, this is your home in Istanbul. The apartment may be shared with a quiet, respectful tenant, ensuring a calm and clean environment. My goal is to make you feel safe, welcomed, and truly at home — whether you’re here for a few days or staying longer to explore the real Istanbul.
Feel free to invite friends over, including overnight stays, as long as everyone is respectful of the space and the people living in it.
✨ So, why stay here?
🏳‍🌈 Queer & international-friendly home only: safe, inclusive, and respectful environment for LGBTQ+ travelers.
🇮🇹 Italian owner: warm, welcoming, and always ready to share local tips, queer/queer-friendly bars/pubs/discos, and cultural events around the city.
🏙 Central but peaceful location: Kurtuluş offers the best mix of real Istanbul life and easy access to everywhere.
💬 Multilingual host: English, Italian, Spanish, and Turkish spoken.
🧳 Perfect for travelers: tourists, artists, digital nomads, and explorers seeking comfort, culture, and connection.
💎 Flexible & discreet stays: Whether you're looking for a short escape, a private moment, or something more spontaneous, feel free to reach out. I’m always open to finding the perfect arrangement for you, including special rates depending on availability.
