I'm staying with Basak for 4 months for my Erasmus semester in Istanbul. So far, she's been really helpful and friendly. She's always reachable and takes care of any upcoming issues. The place is quite big and well equipped with kitchen tools, a washing machine, an iron and Wifi, even though it looks a little different than the pictures online. The balcony is really lovely and has a nice view. There's a little supermarket just down at the next street and a big one 200m away. From the flat you walk 15 mins to Akaretler, where there are soooo many cafes, restaurants, bars, stores etc. Buses leave nearby to any direction and the ferry can be reached by a 15 min walk. If you're looking for a more authentic experience in Istanbul or a place to stay more long-term, I can highly recommend this place!
