You’re coming to Istanbul for the old
World charm and you’re lookin at Airbnb’s that cover all the bases. Charm, views, location, value. No?
Let’s get past the one issue some
might have. It’s a beautiful rooftop apt which means. Stairs. 5 flights. 100 steps. Considering that you’ll probably stay there at night, and run around Istanbul all day, and return later for pre dinner change and cleanup, it’s not terrible. If you are not in shape I’d pass.
But once you’re up there, your views from front and back balcony gaze out over almost a 360 panorama of the city. I’d wake up in the bedroom, open the curtains to let the breeze in and listen to the hustle bustle as I look out across the harbor to the distant mosques. On the back balcony my gf and I would laze out on the chairs overlooking the hillside.
Charm is abundant inside with tasteful decoration in a quaint local style. I’ve been to Airbnb flippers before with cheap furniture and sterile feel and this is anything but. The work desk was perfect for editing photos and catching up on emails. The back den made a lofty resign room and when my gf and I needed a little separation this worked out great.
I’d go into more detail but I have some running around 🇹🇷 to do.
Thanks Daniel for checking in to make sure everything was perfect and cleAn. You’re a world class host.
