The room's description was accurate, in fact the room is exactly as expected. I felt very very welcome in Istanbul thanks to Basak, who wrote me directions to reach her apartment from Ataturk airport and spent time with me after my arrival to draw me a map of the neighborhood and give me useful pieces of advice. She is a very available host and even though the room is very small, this lodging is perfect for a short visit of the city (even in terms of location. Besiktas is very well located for a first-time visit of Istanbul).
I highly recommend Basak as a host, also because she organized a dinner with all of her guests. I could also invite other friends of mine who were in town and the evening was one of my best in Istanbul.
Tesekkuler, Basak!
