The communication with Talha and his roommate was very friendly and quick. We had a late check-in and that worked flawlessly. They also provided us with a list of great restaurants in the area. The WIFI reception was also good. The interior was just as described but small disclaimer on my side: the flat is on the third floor. So keep that in mind if you plan to take heavy luggage with you since there is no elevator. Apart from that it was a great stay and the location and the area around is great. It is located next to a lively street with several shops but the sound from the busy street is hardly heard in the flat. The Beşiktaş ferry station is only a 10 minute walk.
