It is a nice small apartment in the old building in Besiktas located on the top floor. It has a small balcony where you can enjoy your morning coffee or evening tea, and watch the skyscrapers in the distance and the evening lights of Istanbul=) The apartment is located on the hill, so be prepared to have a little exercise everyday, but the location is good, because it is 5-7 minutes away from all the vibrant Besiktas streets, filled with shops, bars, restaurants, fish market, and if you walk further you will get to the waterfront eventually. But the apartment itself is located in a very quiet area which makes it a good place to have a rest. It might get a little hot in the day, so you will need to open the windows and let the fresh air in, the apartment is not equipped with Air conditioner. The staircase is quite steep, but it was not a problem for me, and Ehran helped to get the luggage up to his place. Ehran was absolutely a great host, helping me out with all my requests. He met me as a friend and offered his help for anything. His English is quite basic but Google translate helped us to communicate. The apartment is equipped with all basic appliances. So you will have everything you need for a short stay.
