This apartment is in a very convenient location. Kadikoy is a vibrant community on the Asian side, within an easy and interesting ferry boat journey from the historic centre of the city. The are plenty of shops and cafes within walking distance of the apartment. For those whose mobility is impaired: the apartment is on a road which is up a bit of a hill! But it’s not so steep.
The apartment is spacious and secure. It has two bedrooms, a bathroom (toilet/basin/shower cubicle), generous kitchen space (with a large central table and several worktops), and a lounge.
The furnishings give it an interesting, traditional feel. It was clean when I arrived and had some basic supplies which I could use. The enormous fridge/freezer has an ice maker - great for the hot summer months! There is no microwave. It has a modest oven and a 4 ring gas hob. It has a central heating boiler and instant hot water heater. The windows have strong bars. The street does have 'back street traffic' but it was not noisy at night. I slept well here! The wifi worked very well. TV works well also.
Ata and his wife were very helpful, communicative and responsive. Check-in was easy and they took time to explain different things about the apartment. This apartment is their ‘city home’ which they vacate for renters, and is well loved – they are naturally concerned to have it treated with respect.
I would unhesitatingly recommend Ata as a landlord, and this apartment as a p;lace to stay. I will certainly consider staying here again in future!
