Hamit is a great host from the beginning! I stayed here for 3 weeks and it felt like home, with all the amenities I needed - and everything worked! I could cook, wash my laundry and dry on the rack, WiFi worked perfectly and overall was a comfortable, VERY clean studio. Hamit was also nice enough to assist with my heavy luggage during check-in and check-out, as the unit is a walk-up. Walking distance to Kadikoy station and Moda which is great. I took the taxi fairly often and usually no issues getting one (use Uber or BiTaksi). Kadikoy is a friendly neighbourhood and you get the real local experience!
