We loved everything about Barkin's apartment. Such a beautiful and clean space! Everything u need and more than you need is there. A washing machine + dryer, huge tv, cooking spices and stuff, literally everything you have in your home.
The furniture is so beautiful and in overall the flat is very well decorated. I really felt like I was home.
It has a great location as well. Very close to bus stations (around 5 mins by walk). You can get to the centre in 10 mins (or less) by bus. There is many supermarkets around the apartment as well.
Barkin was an amaaazing host! She welcomed us at the door and gave us Istanbul tips through whatsapp. Her replies were always quick and she was always there to help me.
Side note: The apartment is on a hill so it might not be good for people who has some problems with walking.
