All communication from the very beginning was quick, pleasant and comfortable. Ceren and her husband met us, told and showed us everything. The apartment had everything you need for a comfortable stay - toiletries, gels, shampoos, even toothbrushes. More towels, iron, ironing and drying boards. Perhaps the hair dryer could be the icing on the cake :). They also left us water and a bowl of fruit, which was incredibly sweet.
We stopped there because this location was important to us, but if you want to get to the European part of the city, then on average it takes about an hour by bus, metro and ferries, so keep that in mind. Nearby there are shopping centers, shops and restaurants. And yes, we went for a swim in the pool a couple of times, and there is also a small gym.
Enjoyed the stay very much. I wish Ceren and Hakan pleasant guests, because they are just incredible hosts.
