Alp's place was exactly as pictured. This was my third stay in Kadikoy, so I have had a chance to compare to other nearby AirBnBs.
This apartment is very spacious, with high ceilings and large windows which face the morning sun towards the living room. There was little noise from the apartment, and despite being located very near to the heart of Moda it was just out of range of any major noise. The bedroom, being in the back of the building, kept it well insulated from the noise.
Some Key Notes:
- The shower isn't pictured, but is moderately spacious and is not a small "phone booth" style shower which is often found in Turkish apartments. This was a big plus. It is a tight fit for two, but accommodating.
- The TV has no cable or antennae. Bring a laptop to connect and stream if you plan to use it.
- The apartment was incredibly warm and comfortable between the sun and heat in January, this was a big plus.
- Depending on your electrical needs you may need to buy extension cords.
