I had an absolutely wonderful time staying with the most fun & charming couple in Kadiköy. All communication was swift and after a few pictures, it was also clear where the apartment was (as it is on a walking street, cars are not allowed, but the taxi can drop you off at the top the perpendicular street and it is a 30 sec. walk down to the door :) The location is amazing. You are right smack in the middle of the action with very few tourists around. The neighbourhood has it all...and the food ....OMG...so much great street food! It's a 5-7 min walk to the ferries and metro that will take you anywhere. The room is very comfortable AND it's in the back, so you don't hear any street noise. The bathroom is next to the room as is their bedroom. The dog Yogi is a sweetheart as is the beautiful cat! I had the place to myself quite a bit and when they were at home is was very much like a flat share :) Very welcoming and chill vibe which was perfect for me as a solo traveler! Thanks guys :)
