I expect this listing to have many conflicting reviews and the reason for that in my opinion would be simple. if you are looking for a trip with friends in Istanbul where you feel like you are a friend living in an apartment, this is the place to go. if you're looking for more comfort professionalism, then I don't recommend this place. The value might not be the best but the location is really good. Kadikoy is really nice and we enjoyed it a lot. The hosts were really helpful and recommended everything that we needed ranging from nightlife places to grocery stores. They were even nice enough to go out with us to a club as we were new and we didn't know where to go. they are great people and great friends and, I hope we can stay in touch forever.
overall, I would really recommend guests to stay here if they are looking for friends in Istanbul.
Leo on the other hand ( The cat) is a really big, fluffy cute monster. I wish I could see him again He used to sleep with me a few times.
Best of luck to everybody who comes here.
