Asli is a super attentive, prompt host- always making sure your stay is as pleasant as possible.
The flat is a basement flat (which I didn’t realise when I booked it) but I loved it because when it was boiling outside, it always remained cool and pleasant in the flat so you just end up forgetting about the heat.
The cool temperature and the breeze made up for the lack of window in the bedroom.
Asli was super kind to provide me with a large water supply (which she didn’t have to do but was well appreciated) and really the flat had everything it needed. The shower is amazing and the living room is super cosy.
In terms of location, if you like Moda/Kadiköy- it really is in an ideal place! Only 5 minutes walk to the sea front and very close to amenities.
When I go back to Istanbul, I’d love to rent this place again for sure!
