I really enjoyed my stay in Ismail’s place. Besiktas seemed a very local area what i mean is it was close to a lot of touristic places but itself is filled with only locals and that gave me a taste of the real city. However it would have been more convenient if there was pictures of the streets around the apartment . It was way much older that i expected. The girl who did the check in was the nicest. She was super helpful about pretty much any question you have about the area. I once wanted to warm my sandwich but I couldn’t use the oven nor the stove and i asked if there is no macrowave and she brought one in 30 minutes 😳❤️ she told me to call her any time in day and night which was super nice i felt the safest during my stay. The apartment is clean, nice and convenient.
