I enjoyed my short stay at Samira’s place. She was nice, kind, welcoming and provided me with the items I asked for. The house is near Marmaray so you can get anyplace you would want easily, it takes 15 min to get to Bagdat st., and 20 min to the coast. The main road was a bit noisy during the day if you have your window open ( if not you wont hear any outside noise) but at night it was calm. The room is spacious enough and you have a desk where you can work on. Overall I enjoyed my stay.
