the apartment is very close to ferry, metro and bus. üsküdar is a nice place, because there are markets, parks, restaurants and shops, but its not too crowded. The area is very safe. The room is very small, but there is everything you need. when i met my housemate Sare, she helped me a lot to find places, to practise turkish and invited me to eat with her friends. thanks a lot, it was a very nice stay!!
