I highly recommend this apartment. It is very comfortable and has everything you need for a long term stay. There is an even a very good sized terrace (at least 10 feet by 10 feet) that is great for hanging out your laundry or just enjoying a cup of coffee in the morning. The wifi is fast and stable; I teach online and had no problems with wifi my entire stay. The location is also excellent. It's a five minute walk to the metro and ferry where you can easily cross over to the European side of Istanbul, and you are a ten minute walk from a large mall that has a massive Carrefour hypermarket. There are also tons of smaller shops, restaurants, and cafes as soon as you step outside of the apartment. A small grocery store is literally tens steps from the apartment, perfect for picking up essentials. At night, the neighborhood is quiet and peaceful, yet you are still just a few minutes walk from the heart of Moda if you're looking to have a night out and a few drinks. Kaya speaks excellent English and he will go out of his way to assist you if you need any help. All things considered, this apartment is a great value for the price.
