Jannin is a great host! She wasn't there to meet us in person but her right-hand man was. It was a pleasure to communicate with both of them, they're polite & positive people :)
The apartment is perfectly located in quiet & cozy street of Kadıköy. It's the only apartment on the floor & we never saw neighbors. You can walk to Moda & ferry station in 10 min. Conveniently, cool-hip-vibey cafés, supermarkets & various shops are also just downstairs.
The place is nicely decorated & has everything you could need for a comfortable stay. It's actually even better in real life than in pictures. We loved the balcony facing courtyard & the floor to ceiling window facing the street. The kitchen has all appliances, dishes, beautiful deep sink & that fun green fridge definitely brightens the day! The living area is light & airy. The bed in my opinion is super comfy for one person. The bathroom is nifty & moody, though it's worth mentioning that the door can't fully be closed off - thus it could feel a little awkward, if you're staying with someone you don't feel comfortable hearing you do your business. In any case, it wasn't a big deal for us.
Overall, awesome experience & would definitely recommend to stay at Jannin's place.
Thank you, best wishes!
