We had a pleasant stay in Sadaf’s place. It is nice one bedroom apartment equipped with all you need for a short or longer stay. The area is not really ‘walkable’, but has central location and we were getting around by taxi paying something around 3-5 usd per trip or we taking buses (there are a few bus stops to various destinations).
The apartment is located very close to the highway and initially we were worried about the noise coming from it. But I should tell it didn’t bother us at all, maybe due to the soundproof windows. I used to stay in other Istanbul areas during my previous visits and those neighborhoods were much noisy than this apartment.
The host was very responsive and attentive to our needs. She also allowed for late check out as we were having a night flight.
In general, everything was great!
