Eda's apartment is amazing. Very very well placed in a super pleasant and quiet area, Kadıköy is absolutely gorgeous and particularly this neighborhood. Nice cafes, shops, restaurants around. Don't ever hesitate to go anywhere to drink a çay, it's cheap and delicious. There's even a tea maker in the flat so you can make your own!
I have been to a lot of places but I fell in love with a place called Küff, really nice english speaking staff and super delicious vegan breakfast!
Everything is close to the apartment by walk, metro, buses, ferries (to go to the other sides of Istanbul and also to Prince Islands, go there, it's lovely!).
Eda was especially nice, we were in touch really fast after I reserved the flat, she was really nice, available and helpful for anything I had to ask and always said so. She is a very easy-going and kind person! We arrived late and it wasn't a problem at all, she welcomed us really warmly. One really practical thing is that she lives in the apartment right below so you can always ask for help!
There's all you need there, three single beds, nice bathroom (with a washing-machine), great kitchen with everything you need to cook properly and peaceful terraces with great views so you can chill, enjoy sunshines with muslim chants, albatrosses and seagulls, outdoor meals and any quiet moments around some çay tea!
The whole flat was so clean, it felt so good to sleep in fresh sheets after a long trip!
Thanks so much once again Eda, we had a super nice experience in Istanbul!
I would definitely come back again as soon as possible!
Best regards!
