Orçun was a responsive and kind host, giving you space and privacy. He waited for us to arrive at 2 am and welcomed us into the flat. The macro location is great, in the heart of Beşiktaş, within walking distance to cafes, shops, and the ferry. However, the micro-location is less great since the bedroom’s windows face the street, which is loud because of the traffic, even at night. There is zero sound isolation. To get to the flat, you have to walk very steeply heels, but this is the case in Istanbul in general. The flat is on the second floor of the building with no elevator, which did not bother me personally. Overall the value for money is good, and the host is nice.
