Yaz, at this time, doesn't have his own place in Rome and is living with his girlfriend. When the owner of a house they were about to move into cancels, Airbnb offers them a one-bedroom apartment with a terrace in Trastevere. The four of them move in. From there, they move to another place, and then another, bouncing around Trastevere with their suitcases, living in friends' homes. For Osman, this period defines their concept of home: “We spent about six months like this, and although our situation wasn’t ideal, we were content. We were living our dream, even if there wasn’t a permanent home yet. Being ‘Sincasa’ as a group of friends was what it meant for us. We could call it a luxurious ‘homelessness.’ It was then that we truly understood what a home is. We were already home to each other.”<hr fr-original-style="" style="height: 0px; overflow: visible; border-bottom: none; clear: both; user-select: none; break-after: page; box-sizing: border-box;"><h2 dir="ltr" fr-original-style="" style="margin: 0px; color: rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.85); font-weight: 500; padding: 0px; box-sizing: border-box;">From Osman's Rome address book</h2>Bar Bozza.
