Best location in Istanbul - The ferry, tram, airport shuttle are all within 5 minutes walk. What I loved the most was the local Turkish tea houses & diners just few steps away from the place, as well as fancy restaurants, pubs & night clubs also five minutes away on foot. Overall its a dream location for vacationers and if you are reading this don't forget to take the iconic tram to Moda and then walk back by the sea to Kodikoy, you won't regret it.
The Apartment - 10 on 10, fridge/ac/tv etc all are taken care of, didn't use the kitchen but can confirm cutlery & utensils are all provided for.
The host - Nice fella, he was in constant touch through text messages, met him on the street by chance :)
Over all experience - 10 on 10, no complaints.
