My friend and I enjoyed our stay in Besher's apartment a lot!
The apartment is located in a calm residential area (although there is quite a hill to climb:)). However, there is a plethora of inexpensive markets, shops, and food places nearby to access. Besides, it's only a 15 min walk from Taksim square, which is a famous area of the city.
Besher keeps an apartment in very good condition. It was very clean when we arrived with all of the necessities for life, plenty of spices and utensils for cooking, cute encouraging decorations all over the place, candles, and of course an amazing terrace with an incredible view!
The review would be not full without praising Besher like a host. He is one of these hosts whose actions speak louder than words! From the beginning, he was super responsive to our messages and was able to help us regarding being away in the other city during our first week. Besher immediately called Internet providers when there were wifi issues, helped us with luggage, suggested a nice restaurant for a birthday celebration, ordered water when we ran out, fixed the broken door handle, etc.
On top of that, he was super welcoming and sweet while inviting us for dinner and barbecue with his friends. Besher is an amazing cook, one of the best dancers you'll encounter, and just a very smart, brilliant, and open-minded guy to get to know. We are incredibly grateful to Besher and his friends for adding warmness and beautifying our Istanbul trip! 200/100 recommend ❤️✨❤️😇
