The fat is nice enough and the location is great. There are plenty of places to eat in Besiktas and several super markets too. It is easy to get to the Asian side or the old city from the flat as well as shopping malls, etc. It is situated on a very busy, main road, but the bedrooms are at the back and with the doors and windows closed it is not too noisy to sleep. The kitchen is not very well stocked with utensils not some basics like olive oil or salt and pepper, so bear in mind that you would not be able to cook much. Internet seems to come and go a bit. This might be a provider issue. The doorbell doesn't work and there is just one key. Probably the previous occupants were smokers, which meant the flat smelled like cigarettes upon arrival. We mainly needed it for a bed in the night as we were out visiting friends and family during the day and it was good for that as the location is so great.
