I stayed at Pinar’s place for three weeks, the place is convenient because it’s close to Taksim, but since it’s in the middle of Tarlabasi, it can be a bit sketchy. I didn’t get any trouble but not the safest place of Istanbul, especially if you’re a foreigner girl. The apartment is pretty clean, and the tenants respond really fast and are careful to any requests. Whereas it didn’t mention that the bathroom is outside of the rest of the apartment, which was ok for me, but just to let you know ! I ended up leaving a bit faster than I should because of scorpions, apparently it already happened as Baran told me and changed floors, and they should have cleaned up the apartment in the meanwhile. I found two scorpions, two days in a row... besides that everything was ok !
