First of all — big thanks to Pinar!
I reach out to her a day before I came to Istanbul and she replied very fast and invited me to stay in her apartment.
She met me over the building to pass the key and made a tour over the flat explaining what is what and where 🙂
I was familiar with the neighborhood already, so there were no surprises. This part of Kadikoy could be very loud and party-ish, but the street where the building is located is actually not really crowded and pretty quiet. As I understand it’s just at the edge of the Moda neighborhood. Very nice street.
Big Migros is 5-7 minutes away, a lot of coffee shops, restaurants and bars are nearby. The seashore with a park is very close too.
The apartment is spacious for one person, I think will be good for couples. Netflix available with a guest account on a big tv.
The bad is big, all stuff like sheets, towels, etc, were provided.
Overall I was really pleased with my stay.
