Fatos place was very nice and a true full apartment. The kitchen was stocked with every cooking utensil you could need. I prefer to cook so this was a plus for me. It is in Besiktas but on a side street away from all the main noise. There are many bars, restaurants and stores within walking distance and the ferry is right dow the street. The host was very responsive and easy to communicate with. I would stay here again and can reccomend staying here to other travelers.
