The location of the apartment is in the heart of a nice street with cafes and restaurants in Moda (a hip and trendy part of Kadikoy). There's a supermarket very close which is convenient.
since the apartment is on a lower floor there could be some noise during sometimes of the day/evening but the bedroom is on the backside and I found it to be very quiet.
The host was very helpful, especially that I had issues booking at first but he was patient and helpful.
