Pros:
1. The price.
2. The location — walking distance from Kadiköy pier, subway and Moda.
3. Quiet outside (except for seagulls).
4. The hosts are cordial and helping, great guys!
Cons:
5. The room gets too hot due to bad ventilation. I was given a fan (see 4) which made it bearable.
6. The window faces the kitchen window. No view and whenever there’s light in the kitchen, there’s light in the room. I woke up several times during the night because someone used the kitchen. Black curtains could fix this.
7. If someone in the room next to yours talks, you’ll hear them. I guess the same applies to you :)
Overall: I liked the atmosphere and was able to put up with the inconveniences because of the place’s advantages. Thanks to the hosts!
