A phenomenal stay in a trendy, convenient neighborhood with hosts who epitomize Turkish hospitality. I could not have asked for a better experience. In fact it was so fantastic, and I felt so at-home, that I extended multiple times. The hosts went above and behind to make sure I was comfortable. One day I mentioned that I’d love to learn how to make sarma. That evening I came home and found they had already gotten to work preparing a big meal with multiple mezzes and raki, and taught me how to prepare the sarma (which was delicious)! Aside from the amazing hosts and location, this apartment has everything you could need. It is clean and warm, the wifi is fast, and the shower is powerful and stays hot. You are within five minutes walking from the seaside, bus station, ferries, and metro, and ten minutes or less by walk to central Kadiköy. If you are hoping to stay in or near Kadiköy, don’t hesitate to choose this AirBNB!
