I had a nice stay at Gül's place. The location are one of the best in Besiktas. Close to besiktas square and nisantasi by walk and quiet close to taksim and mecid mecidiyeköy by walk (15-20 min). Besiktas and nisantasi is lively areas but the house are still in a calm spot and still close to the lively part. Gül are kind, helpful and reachable as host. The apartment is big and clean. I can highly recommend the place.
