Our family of 4 stayed for 1 month in Ece's home during our travels to Istanbul and we recommend this place to others looking to stay long term. The home was the perfect spot for all of us to have our own space to relax while also offering a lovely Kadikoy location. The apartment is within a 10 minute walk to Bagdat Street filled with shops and restaurants. The beach area along the Sea of Marmara was less then 15 minutes walk and provided a beautiful sunset location! Buses and the train station were also a very short walk and the inexpensive use of the Istanbulkart made this very easy for our family to get around all over Istanbul. The kitchen was well equipped for cooking family meals and the 1.5 bathrooms were appreciated. The wonderful espresso/ coffee maker was a lovely treat each morning. Wifi in the main living areas was sufficient for reading emails and surfing the web, however it was spotty in the bedrooms and on the outside patio. The large smart TV equipped with multiple TV channels including Netflix, YouTube,etc was a nice bonus. Communication with Ece was both fast and efficient. If visiting Istanbul with family and you are willing to use public transport to visit some of the more touristic locations like the Hagia Sophia, then we highly recommend the use of Ece's lovely home
