Gizem is a warm, lovely and kind person who made my trip to Istanbul an unforgettable experience.
Her apartment is placed right next to the famous Istiklal Caddesi. A really cool studio apartment that oozes the atmosphere of the Beyoglu area. It was super clean, easy to access, good water and most importantly a very comfortable place to sleep. The surrounding area is inhabited by working class people who are more than happy to help if you have any needs.
You also get a host who knows the city better than most and can easily direct and recommend you to the best local places of Istanbul whether it be bars, restaurants, cafes or night clubs.
If you want to experience the true Istanbul I would definitely recommend this place.
