Ali and Filiz were wonderful hosts. We had never stayed in an Airbnb where we were not all by ourselves, and this was a great experience. It was like a hotel room but with friends downstairs. This is a great place to stay if you want to meet locals and really see how the very hardworking people of Istanbul live. The bed is somewhere between a full and queen size. Bathroom is pretty small but workable.
We loved having tea in the garden and were even invited to breakfast one morning. We especially appreciated the suggestion to go to Cafe Pierre Loti, which we would not have found otherwise. Some great food in the neighborhood is at Lale Sultan and Arch Bistro. Book here if it is available!
