The place is closer to a metro station and will take 10 mins by walk. The metro will drop you at Kadikoy after 2 stops from where you can take ferry to the European side.
The house had everything as mentioned and the host was nice. The room is little small and so is the washroom. The room does not have a side table so the extension cord or bottles have to be placed on the bed. The comforter had a nice cover but inside it was ugly to look at. Also what my husband and I found funny was that two single beds were joined to make one double bed which kept slipping away from each other. Other than that the kitchen had everything as promised.
The locality is quiet especially since it’s a residential area. Many reviews have mentioned that there is noise coming in from the windows, because we visited in November our windows were shut so no noise came in. There is also a departmental store in the vicinity which can be accessed any point in the day.
