We are so thankful to Bulut who stepped in when our other Kadikoy Airbnb hosts had to cancel on short notice. From the outset Bulut was super responsive and accommodating. Check-in and check-out were a breeze. The apartment itself is super spacious with separate kitchen, lounge and 3 bedrooms. The area is great, a retreat away from the hustle and bustle of central Istanbul but only 20 minutes away by train. There are good bus services down Bagdati Road to the ferry ports at Kadikoy or Bostanci and from Bostanci it’s on to the Princes Islands, all by Istanbul Card. Bagdati Road has plenty of dining options alongside the shopping but if you need more cafes bars and restaurants, just jump on a bus to Moda. A great base for exploring Istanbul, thanks again Bulut !
