Staying in Idil and Basak’s flat in Besiktas is the best. The apartment is great - it is big with nice rooms and common areas (kitchen and living room) where you can hang out with your flat mates. It was as they described to me and as I saw on pictures. The location of the apartment is also very good. Besiktas is a nice area that I will recommend to live in and it is easy to get here with public transportation.

Idil and Basak are great hosts, always friendly and helpful with everything and they have given great recommendation on where to go etc.

Thank you so much, Idil and Basak, for letting me stay in your apartment from where I enjoy Istanbul in the best possible way :-)
