We found this family owned place, a clean, tasteful apartment to stay, with grate hospitality.
The kindness of Dilan and her parents made us feel welcomed. Although her parents both speak a good functional English but I wish I could speak Turkish to enjoy their company even more. Having said that, I should also mentioned they were very respectful to our privacy and we are grateful for that.
The neighbourhood was peaceful very different to the noisy streets of Beyoglu, and not far from the famous attractions in the heart of Istanbul; although you have to be patient with the slow traffic of the Besiktas Cd. Within 5 min walking distance we found lively area for our grocery shopping, thanks to Dilan’s advise.
The only minor thing is that the basic provided for cooking has rooms for improvement e.g. there were no spices or rice/pasta for cooking. Although it wasn’t anything against the description of the apartment, and perhaps I expect too much. Overall we were very happy to stay again if/ (I like to say)when we get a chance.
