Bel was an amazing host, she and her friend were very helpful throughout our month-long stay. They were very easy to communicate with and always responded quickly to any problems or queries that I and my friend had about the apartment.
As for the apartment itself, it was small and cute, and very well-maintained. It had a spacious balcony from the bedroom and had all the amenities I could have wanted - a washing machine, toaster oven, AC, etc.
The location of the apartment is the real gem here though, it’s 10 minutes away from the metro station (named - Osmanbey) and literally a 3-4 minute walk to a bus stop that services a lot of routes. You can go anywhere you want within Istanbul with easy public transportation access from this apartment.
