Comfortable apartment in a nice neighborhood in Kadikoy. Place looks like the photographs and is less than five minutes walk to one of the main streets in town with restaurants, stores, and cafes. It's about twenty minutes walk to the ferry and metro. There is a locally-owned convenience store nearby that has extended hours relative to other small shops, and that was nice to have. The apartment is in a basement, which makes it a bit difficult to hang-dry clothes. The place felt a tiny bit damp for most of the stay - even with the two windows open. All of the amenities work great - stove, water kettle, microwave, and clothes washer. There was plenty of cookware for use. The bed is comfy. The place is clean, but could use a good scrub down in the little nooks and crannies. The host was extremely responsive and super quick. I would stay here again. For the price, it's a great place for a long-term stay in Kadikoy!
