I immediately felt at home and at ease in Ekrem’s apartment because she and her flat mate Erdem are both very receptive and have good communication skills. It was incredibly convenient to reach anywhere, but notably to the European side, when staying at Bostanci because of how close it was to the Marmaray station. Bostanci is very close to Bagdad street, where you may shop extensively from a wide variety of brands. Overall, it was a wonderful experience!
