Yusuf is a gentle soul and a really nice host who leaves you alone to your devices but is around to help if you need. i was a noob with the door lock and he spent 15 minutes making sure I got it right. 😅 he is very helpful. He also helped me with my heavy baggage at the time of arrival and departure.
his apartment is on the fourth floor and is pristinely clean. It is in one of the rare buildings that has an elevator.
the room is small, as it is mentioned in the description but it is clean and perfect for anyone who needs a place to crash while they travel. the location despite being a little far from touristic places is very well connected. there is a train line about 10 mins walk away, a bus stop right below the building from where you can get very frequent buses to Kadiköy -- the market and the ferry. overall, highly recommend his place. value for money and great host
