We stayed for 15 nights with 3 people. The apartment is located in an area where mostly local people live. There is a market right around the corner and 2 supermarkets in about 5 mins walking distance. The besiktas city center is about 10 min away (walking distance). Near to the apartment ist a big park where the lots of young locals meet, pet the stray cats or listen to music. There were no problems with the communications at all. Engin bey was always quick to reply and help us out. There was one blanket missing and we got one the next day. Only thing that was a bit difficult was cooking, since there is only one stovetop, but we made it work. The apartment was really clean. If you want to stay in besiktas but you don’t want to be in the middle of the (pretty loud) center, this apartment is perfect!
