The apartment is basic but clean and has everything you need. Smart TV and reliable hi speed WiFi. Friendly neighbours who seemed confused about why I was staying there but offered to help with Turkish translation. Close to lots of local shops, open space, park land, the beach, easily walkable to a large brand new shopping mall with lots of chain and fast fashion stores. Also easily walkable to train stations with good transport links to the rest of Istanbul. Also easily walkable to Pendik with lots of dinning, shopping, fitness centres etc. Would definitely stay here again. Communication with Mustafa was easy and he was quick to fix any issues such purchasing a fan.
