Overall, it was a very clean place and had everything I needed! It’s easily accessible by using the Kadikoy shuttle bus and is really close by to the ferry port, metro station, bus station, a really nice mall ( Like better than any mall I’ve ever seen in the US) and very near to some awesome Kadikoy night life. The people around the neighbor were also a lot more friendly to me than in other parts of Istanbul. I was never hassled or followed like in other areas such as around the blue mosque and a bit in karakoy. Ece is renting out two rooms here and as it turned out the other person staying here was a big help for my stay here as was of course Ece who helped me with any problems I had and even hand wrote some directions for me. It also has a market really close by that makes it convenient and they sell some fresh vegetables and other stuff so it’s easy if you want to make your own dinner. One thing to keep in mind is that the door into apartment building needs a little force to open. I thought it was locked but it turns out that I just have weak arms. Things that could bother people but didn’t bother me are the fact that it is a little smokey and it is on the fourth floor. The bedroom I stayed in smelled nice and all the towels and everything smelled fresh and clean. The bed was comfortable and I got amazing sleep and really never felt jet lagged after my flight from the US. Would stay here again if I could.
