Besher was an awesome host. The place is as advertised, clean and close enough to transit to be able to easily get around Istanbul with no trouble at all.
Besher is absolutely a super host. He was able to offer recommendations, responds promptly and went over and above. He even stored our luggage in his own apartment for our last day way later than our checkout time so we could spend one last day in the city, and ensured we got our airport ride safe and sound.
