I had an amazing time staying here. Ata and Tuğba are amazing hosts. They were extremely helpful and the apartment was so warm, cosy and clean. It was also convenient and inclusive of necessities. It was my first time staying at an airbnb but they gave me confidence to do it again.
In terms of location- it's a 5 mins walk the ferry port and a nice walk to Moda. Living in this part of Kadıkoy really gives you the local experience as opposed to tourism. The street also overlooks the bosphorus when you look to your left outside the apartment so definitely works for a good snap!
Ata and Tuğba were kind that upon me asking if there was anything specific they wanted me to do before I left, they were insistent that it was ok and also called me a cab for the airport on the last minute when I sought their help.
I will be in Istanbul again for sure and I think I have found the gem to always stay in ;)
