This is a really nice flat with a well-equipped kitchen and a lovely covered balcony that’s accessible from both bedrooms. The area is very relaxed and friendly, with lots of good bakeries, cafes etc and even a store selling local-made beer. Easy walk to lively Kadiköy and a scenic ferry trip to the old town. We had a stressful arrival to Istanbul but Demir and the comfy flat put us right at ease. Highly recommended for anyone who wants to explore Istanbul and live like a local, without dealing with the hassle of staying in the old town.
