Summary

The first room has a great view of a garden which is really silent, except the birds singing outside. The flat is located really at the center and you are at the heart of the urban life as well as really close to the parks such as Abbasaga Park and Yildiz.

Space

Hello, The flat has 3 bedrooms. It has one shared bathroom and a kitchen. I'm renting two bedrooms. You will have a private room. The first room has a great view of a garden which is really silent, except the birds singing outside. The second bedroom is bigger, it doesn't have a garden view but has sun light and view of the neighborhood. The second bedroom has direct access to the living room that has a balcony and garden view. The flat is located really at the center and you are at the heart of the urban life as well as really close to the parks such as Abbasaga Park and Yildiz. There are all the shops and restaurants 5 min away. Also after 5 min. of walk you can get the public transports to Kabatas, Taksim, Kadikoy and Levent. You have several choices to get a bus or tram, ferry or a taxi. The flat is comfortable but it is a shared place and we can't offer you a holiday as a hotel so you need to agree with sharing a flat with us :)

Neighborhood Overview

Besiktas is really at the center of Istanbul, the neighborhood reminds me old Istanbul in a way, close to the sea side, still some parks (Website hidden by Airbnb) a student neighborhood since we are surrounded by a lot of universities, at late night it doesn't make difference since a lot of pubs are close and life goes on, but I love the place very much since, it is really peaceful and silent in the middle of life in Istanbul.

Notes

    I Had a great stay in Ulas place. A very nice flat in a tiny calm steet just a stonethrow away from the lively heart of Besiktas. 3 adorable cats and a great host which explained me a lot of things about istanbul and gave me very good recommendations on places to see and to go to which I wouldn´t have found by myself. So thanks a lot!

    I enjoyed my stay with Ulas, she was very friendly and welcoming. The flat is near the busy part of Beşıktaş, but on a quiet street, which was nice. It's a little bit of a walk to the tram, but overall a great base to explore the city!

    The flat is very nice and tidy, and the host is very welcoming and friendly, her advice and recommendations were very helpful indeed. The cat family was a pleasant bonus! We greatly enjoyed our stay there.

    We really enjoyed our time at Ulas's place, and would have liked to have stayed longer than our 2 nights. She's a wonderful host, and an interesting person. Warm and very helpful. She kindly offered us an Istanbul travel card and had some great advice on what to do. Besiktas is also a cool area to stay in, and it's central enough to travel to and from all the other sights around Istanbul very easily. Thanks again Ulas! We'd love to stay with you again if we ever come back.

    Ulaş was a great host! She gave us good advices, was friendly and nice. Her apartment was lovely and we felt like home. We fell in love with her cats, they were adorable! The neighbourhood (Beşiktaş) is an awesome place for young people-shops and pubs everywhere. Also the location is perfect, close to the centre. We really enjoyed our stay in Istanbul. Thank you, Ulaş!:)

    Ulas was a great host for me and my girlfriend's visit to Istanbul. Her place is in a very good location, with great food places nearby and ferry and tram at walking distance. She gave us clear and detailed directions to reach her place. Her recommendation for restaurants became a defining part of our Istanbul experience. Her cats are very cute and friendly. We were moved to another bigger room on reaching. She was not with us during the whole stay but we didn't face any problems in her absence and she was always reachable. Will definitely recommend this place to stay because of the location, price and a nice host.

    You were a great host, Ulas. We can highly recommend your place. We liked you and the flat from the beginning and enjoyed talking to you. The cats are a funny bunch, sneaking around and watching us with big yes. It is amazing that though in the middle of busy Besiktas at night in the room one can only hear the muezzin and the occasional call of a rooster. Son Onni is still talking about you and carries the blue airpane around that you made him. And we enjoy listening to the vinyls you gave us.

    Stayed in one of two rooms (I think) available at this gritty-but-stylish retro apartment. Small kitchen, lived-in, authentic, Ulas was very generous sharing coffee and such; living area is spacious and lovely: Decorated with music posters and relics from Ulas's event-organizing days, as well as tons of books. It has an artist's pad vibe (which I loved, but might not be everyone's style). Ulas (and roommate, too) were very friendly and communication was excellent. The air circulation in the room was a little less than ideal (I stayed in the second room, with the wrought-iron bed frame) and it got quite hot and humid, but hey, it's Istanbul in the summer and overall it was fine. The cats are friendly but got a little lonely when Ulas was gone, but if you like to play with cats, you'll have a family of three to entertain. The bathroom and other aspects of the "facilities" are worn and gritty, but well-maintained and perfectly functional. If you're looking to live as a student or artist in Besiktas, this is a great place to stay. The best part is that it's right off the main drag, which is extremely crowded and busy, but the apartment is actually amazingly quiet for Istanbul and set back enough from the busy-ness that it feels residential and cozy without any sacrifice in convenience.

    The place was really nice and the neighborhood was absolutely amazing. It is very lively and safe and well connected to the rest of the city. I enjoyed my stay a lot and definitely recommend this place. Ulas is a lovely host and has been very helpful and responsive and was always happy to give some tips and recommendations! ❤️

    Ulas was a really great host! She was there for me when I had any questions and looked for all my needs. The flat is very cozy, so you can feel comfortable like home. It is very central and you can reach all stations by foot. Recommended! :)

    Ulas's place is in a stunning local area called Besiktas. I really enjoyed the energy of the students and the trendiness of the coffeeshops. Even though it looks rundown, it's very safe to stay there. During my stay it was quite noisy outside, as the bedroom overlooks the front section of the apartment. The lounge area was lovely and very bohemian.

    Ulas’s house was in a perfect location: silence but at a minute walking from the center of Besiktas. The room was comfortable and familiar. Ulas’s was a really good host and very helpful for advice on Istanbul! I absolutely recommend this place and can’t wait to go back!

    We had a lovely time at Ulas' place. The area, Besiktas, is really cool, with lots of nice restaurants and cafés nearby. It was also easy to travel to the sights on the European side that we wanted to see. Ulas was very accommodating and helpful - she gave us great suggestions for where to eat, drink etc. We would definitely recommend the place to others!
