Ugur’s Airbnb is located in central Karakoy, 4 mins walking distance to the Galata Tower and the lovely and bustling area surrounding it. Ugur was prompt and very accommodating - offering airport transfer, Covid-testing at the Airbnb, and quick to share tips to navigate the city. Our room was on the second floor, which despite the steep stairs was worth it. The rooftop has refreshing panoramic views of the Galata area and the Bosphorous. Ugur ensured that there were sufficient clean towels, toiletries, room slippers, and water throughout our stay. The Airbnb was a studio and slightly smaller in my perception (than the pictures, can accommodate 2 travelers at max) Although for the price, central location and Ugur’s hospitality, the Airbnb is a catch! Highly recommend it to a traveler who wants to center themselves in the lively Istanbul and live like a young local- Ugur and his listing definitely makes that experience a breeze!
