Medine is a super friendly host who is respectful, kind, helpful and relaxed. Check in was really smooth and her apartment was easy to find and really central. A 5 minute walk brings you to the bus station and the ferry port and a little further to the Metro - so convenient! You can also reach the main bar, restaurant, cafe and shopping areas in Kadiköy in another 5 minutes! A perfect place to stay for exploring locally and the rest of Istanbul! The room was exactly what I needed for my stay - comfortable, clean and plenty of light, and peaceful at night for a great sleep! I worked teaching online while I was there and the wifi was strong and consistent with no issues👌 Thanks also Medine for the lokum advice(it was delicious!) and refreshing tea!! Hope to see you again next time!🙂
