Which Istanbul neighborhoods are best for finding a shared apartment or roommate near the metro/metrobus line?

For a 3-bedroom apartment with good transport links, look along the metrobus corridor on the western side of the city: Beylikdüzü, Avcılar, Küçükçekmece, and Bahçelievler.

In Şişli, shared 3-room apartments are available near Trump Mall, close to M2 and M7 metro stations plus metrobus and regular bus stops — a convenient option for students given the transport access.

These Şişli room-share listings are typically short-term, running until mid-September — timed to the start of the academic year, which is common for student housing arrangements.
