We thoroughly enjoyed our 5 days at Alper’s Place. It is located in the heart of Kadıköy on the Asian side of Istanbul. The neighborhood is vibrant and young. It was very, very easy to walk to the transit ferry buildings for a ferry to the European side. It’s a feature not a bug since your half hour ride across the Bosphorus shows off the old city. The apartment is modern and has everything you need including a well equipped kitchen. Moreover it has the most amazing terrace that gives you an unobstructed view across the Bosphorus. We spent a lot of our down time outside. Communicating with Alper was easy and we had no problems with getting into or leaving the apartment. If you want to feel like you are living in an interesting neighborhood in Istanbul, this is the place.
