Well decorated Airbnb with tons of room in the perfect area of Kadikoy. Right next to the market and restaurant street (Ciya Sofrasi around the corner) and tons of bars and coffee shops in the area. Wonderful views on both sides of the apartment with a nice view of the Bosphorus.
Notes to beware of:
1) There are a ton of winding stairs (5-6 floors worth) so lots of baggage will be difficult.
2) bedroom is right next to a mosque minaret so early morning call to prayer is definitley very loud at like 5am.
3) while well decorated and modern looking, lots of the build out of the apartment seems rushed, with paint splatter in places, broken handles, hooks messed up and framing not fully nailed in around doors and floor in some places, some weird black marks in the bathroom ceiling, etc. Just makes it feel like a rushed touch up job. But it’s not a huge problem.
Overall enjoyed the place for 1 night and the location is brilliant and check in is super easy with great communication. Just a couple things keeping it from a full 5 star place.
*Also to note, host was very nice and let us check out 1 hour late to match with our flight timing. Said they normally don’t do that.
