A very nice apartment with lots of good appliances. It is located right in between the airport and the city of Istanbul, which is perfect if you're traveling. Since it's a new and upcoming neighbourhood, there isn't any traffic or other noises, which makes it a pleasant stay especially being close to the busy city. We got a rental car, which made it easy to drive to the nearest metro station, where we could park for free. The metro system is easy, cheap and awesome. So even though you're an hour away from the city center, it's easy to get there. The best of both worlds!
But most importantly, the host is very kind and helpful and quick in responding. She immediately helped us out when we encountered a slight WiFi problem (due to our countries simcards) and gave nice ideas what to visit with our 7 year old daughter. We recommend staying at her place for sure!
