Doruk is your host. He is very helpful and he speaks and writes excellent English.
The unit is located in a recently updated building. It is clean, comfortable and secure and Doruk has made sure it is well stocked with all the necessities, as well as a few items he included as a welcome gift. Very thoughtful.
The view from your large balcony on the top floor is across the Bosporus to the Hagia Sophia in the ‘old city’ of Istanbul on the European side. Just spectacular!
There is lots of energy and activity in Kadikoy; restaurants, bars, cafes, markets and shopping and the apartment is located only a few streets away from all of it! On a practical note there is a well stocked grocery store at the bottom of the street and the apartment is only a short walk from the Kadikoy subway and ferry terminals- which you can use to get to many of the well known sites on the European side.
This is a great location for your visit to Istanbul. I am very pleased that I chose to stay here.
