This is literally the BEST you can have in Besiktas,Istanbul. Emir is a super host with lots of understanding, flexibility, generosity and care. He and his parents welcomed me on the night I arrived and made my checking super smooth. During my stay, everything in the apartment worked perfectly and the view was stunning. The location is super, pretty much better than any listing in Taksim. On the day I checked out, Emir gratefully aggreed to leave me luggage in the room until I am on my way to late night flight. If I were to visit Istanbul again, I would choose this place with no doubt.
