This place is great if you are looking to be in the middle of a really cool neighborhood with lots of activities, bars and restaurants, but you also value some quiet at night. Deniz’ place is just 2 minutes walking from the action - but nicely placed on a quiet street making this place a true gem if you like to be in the middle of things but also have some privacy and quiet time.
Beşiktaş is a really cool and safe neighborhood close to bars, cafes, restaurants, the harbor with ferries to other parts of Istanbul as well as Prince’s Islands. His place is in walking distance to various means of transportation and Deniz was very helpful guiding me to the right bus/tram/etc.
Deniz is a very considerate and helpful host, doing everything he could to help me out. He even tipped me on a local football game that gave me an authentic local Istanbullu experience. He was super helpful on both check-in and out. The place is cute and clean and everything is very well thought through.
This is definitely my go-to place in Istanbul and I can highly recommend it.
