The appartment is well located and 10 mn walk from ferry station which is perfect. Kadikoy has the same vibe that my neighbourhood in Sao Paulo, Brazil : young people, bars everywhere, vintage shops, restaurants, etc... The bed was super comfy 5I slept like a baby), the view from the terrace is amazing, her 2 cats are absolutely adorable (especially Simone who used to lay by my side on the bed) but you should be aware this room dors not have a bathroom on the same floor so you have to use the narrow spiral staircase to go downstairs. Sev has OTHER bedrooms w private bathroom, if needed. You should also know that one day, there was no water in the house until 5 pm because government simply cut it ! It is not Sev's fault obviously but she could have warned me since she received SMS from the water company. On the other hand, Sev was kind enough to lend me a transport card that was very useful (you just need to refill). I did not put 5 stars because my communication w her was a bit disappointing. We never talked really, only the basics so I did not feel specially wellcomed. But maybe you ll get luckier !
