Ekin is my favourite host after using airbnb for over 8 years. Ekin was a great host and I really appreciated him personally checking me in to the Airbnb. Ekin was kind enough to treat me to a coffee and great conversation. I was not feeling well when I arrived in Istanbul and Ekin was very considerate and was flexible with the check in time. Ekin was super kind to drop me into the main centre of Kadikoy while the airbnb was getting ready as I arrived in the morning. Ekin was great in responding to me with any question i had which was super appreciated.
The Airbnb is located on the 11th Floor (New build - Lifts) and offers lovely view of the area. The Airbnb is just like in the pictures shown. The apartment is super spacious and offers a well stocked kitchen, a great bathroom with amenities. The bed was super comfortable as was the sofa and the TV in the living room was a a very good size. This apartment is super clean and modern throughout. I like the area as it was not in the city centre but had great travel links to get you in the central Kadikoy in around 10 mins. The Airbnb has a swimming pool and jacuzzi on the 2nd floor which was a fantastic bonus. Along with a coffee shop on the 2nd floor and a lovely coffee shop on the ground floor of the complex.
There is a super tasty borek shop opposite the airbnb and next store I discovered a local bazar (Sali pazar) which takes places on Tuesdays and Friday which is next store to the Airbnb. It was great to have a local experience and shop where the locals shops.
I would 100% stay here again next time I am Istanbul. Thank you Ekin for being a fantastic and considerate host.
Thanks once again.
