Basak's apartment in Chihangir was a solo traveller's dream! It is close to everything in a very 'hip' part of Istanbul. As with most apartments in the area the access hallways are a bit tight and narrow (especially when lugging around baggage) but not insurmountable. The lift works great, too! Basak doesn't reside in the apartment but if you needed anything, she's accessible online or by phone. She does juggle between other airbnb properties so you have to be patient, however. She organised my taxi to the airport on my last day so that shows her eagerness to attend to your needs and I hope I can host her if she ever visits Australia to repay the warm hospitality that I received!
