Efe is the soundest guy in the hood—he speaks brilliant English, and helped me out with everything from accomodation to recommendations.
The location is superb: lots of cafes and coffee shops around, but very quiet on the side streets. Kadikoy is very different even inside itdelf, so discoverin this part was a very unique experience.
The flat itself, eventhough not a brand new, but is cosy and has its own artsy vibe of comic series. It has some minor issues with water, but not critical, all usable, no probsies. Lots of interesting books, plants and even a bass guitar.
Highly recommend!
