This is a great place for a long-term visit to Istanbul, I really enjoyed my two-week stay in this quiet part of Altintepe neighborhood. This large private room in a 3-bedroom apartment is perfect for budget travelers; awesome queen-sized bed, strong wi-fi, complete kitchen, good shower with a bathtub, washing machine, and a super host that keeps everything clean. The apartment is a 15-minute walk to Bagdat Cadde, the hip bar/shopping street, a 10-minute walk to Marmaray train station and Bostanci ferry to go to downtown Istanbul (Taksim, Sultanahmet) and E-9 bus stop for Sabiha (SAW) airport, and a 5-minute walk to grocery stores, restaurants, and Kizilay Red Crescent hospital for your PCR test. Excellent value.
