We have lived at Azade's place for almost a month and felt like home here. It's a unique place, because you basically have your own little private house in Kadikoy, which is extremely rare for that area. It is situated between the residential houses, which protect you from the street noise and other people's eyes. House owners are very nice and responsive people, always ready to help. For example the dishwasher broke one day, but the owners got an expert and it was fixed in 2 days, which is amazing for Istanbul, I think))
Also the house is close to the beautiful park near Bosphorus, close to all the best breakfast places in the area (like 3-5 min walk), close to all the main restaurants and pubs (also 5-10 min walk). The house has everything one might need.
