We stayed here for a month. It was larger than we expected. Ezgi was wonderful and met us at the apartment, even when our flight was delayed. She was also great at communicating and helped us with a few things.
The location was great in our opinion. There were some cheap and good eats around, about a 10-15 min walk to the docks and to a metro station. The M4 line recently opened, and will take you from SAW airport to the Kadiköy docks.
It was also a quick walk to Kadiköy’s fish market and a lot of shops near there. As a female, I felt very safe whenever I went out by myself.
Kadiköy is more quiet compared to the Golden Horn. During the day, you can hear a the occasional horn honking if you are in the living room. However in the night and early more it’s pretty quiet.
