I definitely recommend this apartment! Our arrival was very uncomplicated, our host welcomed us warmly and we were even provided with some drinks and snacks. The apartment has everything you need. There is a large living room with a view of the street, a well-equipped kitchen with a large fridge and sitting area, and a bedroom. Since there were three of us, an actually locked room was opened and made ready for us (thanks!). There were towels, dishwasher, washing machine, every kind of household appliance. There were lots of cleaning products, shampoos, shower gels, etc. So the apartment was furnished as if it were your own. The many books and magazines in the flat were a nice touch. There were various Turkish and international streaming services on the television, for example Netflix. A problem with the heating could be solved just the next morning due to the quick and dedicated reaction of our host. (Communication with him via Whatsapp was always very good.) The apartment is located in Suadiye / Bostancı and is only a 10 minute walk to Marmaray Station and Bagdat Street. Minibusses, which take you to the center of Kadıköy (where you can find ferries e.g. to Karaköy and Eminönü), leave just across the street. There are also ferries directly from Bostancı. We really enjoyed staying in an area that is still lively, but much quieter than e.g. central Kadıköy or even Beyoğlu, much more uncomplicated and yet central. We always found parking spaces for our car pretty quickly. Even though we were there over New Years Eve, the price for the stay was reasonable: the price-performance ratio is definitely right. Thank you for a wonderful week in Suadiye!
