I'm looking for a place in Kadikoy and have been offered a room for 800 TL. Just a room in a shared flat. It is a big room but seems like alot? Or is this normal?

It depends on the flat, and where in Kadikoy it is located.

If it were a 5 star apartment with unobstructed sea views from a giant balcony, and you were only sharing with one other person, then 800 YTL would be cheap.

If it's a crappy, back alley concrete block populated by gypsies, then you're being taken for a ride.

If it's something in the middle, then I would try and bargain 10 to 15% off that price, or, if it's a nicely done out apartment in a nice enough building in a nice enough area, push at the very least for all water & heating bills to be included, plus the internet.

Bear in mind that you could rent a basic, but clean and internally modernish, 2 bed apartment 30 mins out into the suburbs for around 550 YTL (+ estate agent's one month findind fee). You wouldn't want to live in one due to the dreadful state of the public transport system, but that's what they go for.

Have you checked out www.sahibinden.com for comparisons?
