The apartment's location is fantastic, if you want to be near Moda and Kadikoy but not in the busy part of it. Lots of amazing restaurants nearby, and everything was walking distance. Demir was a responsive host and was very easy to talk to and quick to address any problems (thank you so much!). All in all, we stayed for 7 days and the apartment was very comfortable and definitely warm (it was snowing while we were in Istanbul). If there was any downside, it's that the kitchen is rather old, definitely serviceable, but something to note if you plan on a longer stay and want to cook a lot. We ended up taking advantage of the fabulous cuisine in the area and only used the kitchen for breakfast
