I stayed at Songuls apartment for three weeks and it was great.
I was given two rooms: a bedroom and a small office room. The office room also has a door to a nice private yard with outdoor table and chairs.
I worked remotely from the apartment.
The apartment is well designed.
There was cigarette smoke smell in the shared common areas of the apartment. Host keeps the apartment very clean.
I enjoyed a few activities: spending time in Maltepe park, looking at the sea, taking cheap boat trips from nearby Bostancı port to the city center.
There are a few metro and Marmaray stations within walking distance. Supermarkets are very close.
The neighborhood is quiet and safe.
The host is easy to talk to and easy to get along with, I felt comfortable. She also cooked some traditional Turkish dishes and shared them with me.
I enjoyed my stay very much. Thank you, Songul.
