We booked for the first time at Airbnb and we stayed at Alpers place in Sisli.
Overall it was a perfect stay because of:
a) Communication: Alpers communication started 5min after booking and during the whole stay he communicated quickly.
b) Apartment: The aparment was as described including all details we asked for. The internet was very quick. It also had a 2 persons elevator.
Rooms are big enough.
Every 2nd day a cleaning service was cleaning the aparment, which was very helpful.
c) Location: The location we had was in front of the mosque in Sisli.During the day it is of course loud on the street. Inside of the aparment it is ok. Also during the night everything is silent because the bedrooms are in the back.
If you want to be sure that your stay is going to be without any issues, then take an apartment from Alper.
I stayed with my family (wife & 2x 3,5 years old twins) without any issues.
Thanks again to you Alper - see you in 12 months.
Kind regards,
Burhan
