I think it's a great choice if you want to experience ordinary life in Kadikoy. Here you'll find good access to metro and Marmaray (~15 min on foot). So, you can easily to get everywhere in the city. The apartment is really very light and has enough home appliances and other home stuff to live comfortably.
