Pros: Excellent apartment. It’s very large and comfortable. Brand new furniture and appliances. Super clean. Perfect for families. There’s a bakery, four grocery stores, a butcher, and a liquor store right outside. It’s 10 minute walking to Emaar shopping mall. 10 minute taxi ride to Kadikoy. It was a perfect respite from the hustle and bustle of the city.
Cons: The location isn’t ideal for tourists and solo travelers since there isn’t much to see other than the mall and the Çamlıca watch tower. Public transportation doesn’t look easy to find. So you’ll rely on taxis every day. The host could be clearer about the location (which is in Küçük Çamlıca).
