As a former local in Istanbul, I rented Mesut's place to have my friends in Istanbul and show them around. What surprised me the most was apartment was really quiet considering it is one of the busiest areas(nisantasi). Considering the location and the flat itself I can easily say that it was an amazing experience. It is super close to Taksim Square, but most importantly to Besiktas, a hub where you can easily go to where ever you want in Istanbul. Mesut and his friend Samet were really welcoming, ensuring that everything was perfect both before and during our stay. I would like to thank Mesut and let you guys know that you can rent his apartment with your minds at ease. Cheers.
