Staying at Idil & Başak's was great. As hosts, they're fantastic - there when you need something, but also give you space when you need it. The place is in a great location, and very central. The 5 flights of stairs may be offputting but you get used to it in a day. I'd recommend this to anyone wanting a great location in Istanbul, in a clean, spacious and friendly flat. Also, this room has a fantastic balcony which gives you great views, and a nice place to hang out.
