    (About work hours… You can choose to work 12 hours and take care of your food or 24 hours with food provided by me. In any case, you choose what you like among tasks make your own work schedule.)

    --------

    My house was left abandoned for many years. Needs renovation and refurbishment. I also don t have the furniture any more. It needs to be furnished.
    I would like your help to make it beautiful again.

    The pictures are from my house, from the times I lived there before.

    I lived in different countries. I did workaway myself which were great experiences.

    The area is called Fener / Balat.

    My house is in one of the oldest settlements of Istanbul. The neighbourhood has a rich history. I often take walks and visit mosques, churches, hamams, fountains and libraries from different periods, and also local markets. You re welcome to join.

    Public transport connections are good. You can visit different parts of the city. You can take the boat to the Asian side or to the islands. I would gladly give you recommendations and tips about places to visit.

    There are many museums and galleries that are 15 - 20 min. away by bus.
