The perfect place for a local turkish experience managed by a super friendly and organized host. Ozan is the kind of host that contacts you before your arrival to assist with anything you might need, clear instructions, flexible check-in, lots of food recommendations. Room is spacious, good bed, space for using the computer, wardrobe and cabinet to organize your things and natural light. The apartment is shared with more people but you get a key for the room and it never felt crowded. Kitchen was full of utensils, and he upgraded many things, even while I was there. He always kept everything clean. Location is safe, close to market, restaurants and 15min walking to the center of Bakirkoy and to the fast metro station (Marmaray). You can get anywhere without worrying about traffic within 30min-45min. All in all, highly recommended if you wanna experience Istanbul like you're being welcomed by a local friend, in an original neighborhood, with a cute cat jumping around. Thanks bro!
