The host was wonderful, the accommodation worked great for us, and the location is very good. If I am ever back in the area I would try and stay here again.
Location: this is the classy part of kadikoy and it is very quiet area, For those of you walking just a small note, the location is a little bit of a walk to a Metro station about 10 minutes to both Marmaray and M4 metro line, However, it is right next door to a shopping center and a pretty big Migros grocery store, there is plenty to do without leaving the kadikoy area, lots of restaurants bars and places that open until after midnight,
Room and host: Place is on first floor of a nice building, a bright apartment with lots of windows, room has a comfortable double bed, and a big closet , bathroom was clean , this is a 2bedroom apt and you will be sharing the place with host and his dog, you have your own room and host has his room, host is very accommodating, nice and exactly the experience I was hoping for with Airbnb. I like to experience what it would be like being a local and that is just how it was for me.
His dog Leo is super friendly , and Mehdi was nice enough to let us use his kitchen for a quick breakfast before heading out to explore the city, overal we had a very good stay and felt home, Thank you Mehdi !
