  Description

  Welcome! I live in a spacious 3-bedroom apartment located in a quiet, family-friendly residential area, just a short walk from the M4 Kozyatağı Metro Station. Our home is bright, clean, and will be decorated in a modern, cozy Scandinavian (Hygge) style. I am friendly, enjoy meeting new people, and am happy to share my local knowledge of Istanbul.
  
  We are looking for self-motivated and respectful volunteers to help with a few projects and daily tasks, helping us keep our lovely home tidy and ready for our next projects.

  Help re-arranging furniture for optimal flow, tackling clutter, organizing cabinets, and assisting with small styling projects.
