Staying was Gokhan was a great experience. The place is located in Besiktas, one of the most vibrant and alive places out there. The moment you step out of the apartment you're in the middle of the market with great places to have breakfast, lunch or spend some time at a local sports pub! You are 5 minutes away on foot from the ports that take you anywhere in Istanbul and the bus station that takes you to Fatih, Eminonu and other touristy places. The place was clean and Gokhan was very accommodating and responsive. I would recommend for anyone wanting to be in the heart of the Istanbul.
