Staying with Tifa was very pleasant. His place is in the heart of Kadiköy, which makes is super easy to go everywhere. Although it was quite hot and humid, the room is to the back and it was not hot at night and also quiet. Tifa himself was very attentive, flexible and a kind guy, which was great. His internet is very fast and stable. Using the washing machine was not a problem, also drying the clothes. Concerning parking there are many (paid) options around (the closest just next door and visible from the balcony) but also street parking can be found within 5min of walking.
