Staying with Cerith was my first experience using AirBnB, and I couldn't have asked for a better one.

Cerith was very helpful and considerate. He showed me around the city and he really knew a lot; everything from historical aspects of the monuments and sights, to where to go clubbing.

The apt itself is located close to Taksim, why there was excellent connections to the whole of Istanbul and back/forth to the Airport. I found this very convenient and neat. The apt. is clean and in good condition. The only negative I can think of is that it doesn't have Wifi. There is internet connection, but it is accessed through a laptop (mobiel internet). Minor detail, but for me, who uses my iPhone (iMessage, Viber, Skype etc), for free connection, this was a little troublesome. However, Starbucks was close by to the apt. with free WiFi, so it was worked out well in the end.

All in all, a very pleasant and nice experience.
