The location is excellent on Asian side in Kadikoy, very local feel. You can walk to Moda neighbourhood, ferry, metro, train, bus, stadium, grocery, restaurants, pubs, cafes and all sorts of shops within 5-15 minutes. It’s on a busy street, so choose a unit front or back depending on your preference. The staff is very friendly and helpful using google translator. Hasan responds quickly and helps. We stayed a month in April and saw the real historical beauty of Istanbul and Turkey.
