Don' t worry. 2500 $ is enough to live in İstanbul Yenibosna. that means you purchase 4250 TL for per month. 1250 TL goes to a good home, then 3000 is enough to enjoy.

Thanks for replying to my queries. How is Yenibosna area in terms of super market availability and connection to local transport. Is it a safe area for expats or if u can suggest nearby good residential areas.

I dont suggest Yenibosta to live in. Maybe Bahçelievler, BAkırköy is more expensive but better.
