Beyhan’s apartment is spacious and well maintained. The location in Bostanci is quite calm compared to much of Istanbul, and its a wonderful place to get away from the hustle and noise of the big city. It has a wonderful porch with a view of the Bosporus, and there’s a grocery store, an eczane, and a tekel right next to the building. It’s a 15 minute walk to the Marmaray metro so it’s easy to get between Europe and Anatolia. Cabs and busses are also easy to find. Check-in was easy and Beyhan was a very responsive host throughout my stay. Keep in mind that the apartment is located a little further down Bagdat than the listing describes, but its still very close to transportation. I stayed for over a month and have only good things to say about the experience. I highly recommend this apartment for anyone looking for a longer stay on the Anatolian side.
