This is a small lovely flat. Very clean and can easily accommodate 3-4 people. The neighborhood is quiet and calm. Communication with our host was great and responses were almost instant. Location wise, this is a good place if you are comfortable with public transportation. Goztepe is the closest metro (around 15mn walk). From there you can reach the European side in an average of 40mn approximately. Closer neighborhoods Like Uskudar ans Kadikoy are very nice and enjoyable. Not far from the house, you have a Migros (grocery store) + right next to the house you also have many convinience stores and restaurants. Also, not far from the house (15mn walk) you also have the Emaar Mall (which is huge), so if you want to do some shopping, that's definitely the right place. Overall, our stay was great, our host was very responsive and accommodating regarding check in and check out as well as directions.
