Value and Location. This area is vibrant, local, arty and a side of Istanbul that tourists seldom see. The apartment is simple and is being renovated now and again (so has some quirks to iron out) but we really enjoyed staying here and had no problems. It’s a true b&b with breakfast served in the cafe under the apartment included in the price ! With the Ferry you can get to the sights within 20 mins for 6lira but in the evening you’re back in the Kadikoy/Moda neighborhoods for drinks and dinner with the cool locals (and not the box ticking tourists). Prices are also lower here. Recommended
