This apartment is well-located and quiet. You can get to the Isci Evleri bus stop with just a 5 min walk, and the Vallidebag stop is 7 mins away. Metrobuses arrive at 30-min intervals, and a dolmus drives by every 10 mins or so. You can get to both Kadikoy and Uskudar relatively easily, though you should note that the commute to the main sights in Fatih will take over an hour. I stayed for a month and appreciated the distance, but I’d probably opt for a more central location if I only had 3-5 days in Istanbul.
Amenities-wise, everything worked well. The bathrooms are clean and well-renovated. The laundry machine is free and works well. The kitchen is also equipped with a fridge and a stove for people who want to cook. On the whole, it was a well-furnished place.
One thing to note is that this is a shared accommodation. 4 different guests share the space, each with a different lifestyle. I initially struggled with having a smoking housemate because the smoke would permeate into my room, but Hilal addressed the issue within 2 days, and the situation was resolved. Another housemate of mine did not agree with how infrequently the trash was being taken out. Disagreements like these are bound to happen in any shared living situation, so its important to keep this in mind. Hilal did an excellent job addressing these issues on our behalf, so that was super great and helpful.
On the whole, this is a good spot for people who want to live away from the craziness of the main sights, and who don’t mind living with 3-4 other people.
