Emir’s place is located in a very strategic location in Besiktas; very near to many touristy places and everything is accurately described as per his post. Emir’s parents lives in the same building and if we need anything such as drinking water & groceries; Emir’s parents are always there to give a helping hand. The whole place is extremely clean and everything is provided for our comfortable stay in Istanbul. Public bus stop is just 300m away and there are many eateries & cafes nearby. One thing to note though - Emir’s place is located on a hilly side and I think it is not that suitable for family with babies / toddlers unless you have your own car. Other than that, Emir’s place is definitely the best choice for you in Istanbul!
