Hacer and her family were the best hosts I have ever had the pleasure to Airbnb from. From making us feel right at home, to guiding us about the local neighborhood they were fantastic. The apartment and building are brand new and located in the beautiful Fenerbace neighborhood of Kadikoy. You are quite literally 3 min walk to the beach and this wonderful boardwalk that stretches across the coast. Almost every grocery chain is within a 5 min walk. And everything from butcher, grocer, cell service, barber, cafe, restaurant everything you need is a 1 min walk away. The unit itself is 3 bedrooms 2 baths, so if you are a bigger group it’s perfect (it can sleep up to 7 people comfortably). The kitchen is stocked with everything you need and the living/tv room is expansive with comfortable couches. The unit is also within close distance of the Moda, Kadikoy, and Bagdat Cadassi areas which are full of restaurants and shopping. So if you are going for the Asian/Anatolian side this is your best bet. I personally preferred this side than the crazy busy European side. But if you are looking to go to Taksim or Blue Mosque. The Unit is 10 min waking to the metro, or 10 min taxi to the local ferry. So at Hacers house you get the perfect balance of a quiet neighborhood, beach access, and proximity to nightlife and shopping. Do not pass this unit up!
