I honestly don’t even know where to start. As a couple who love to travel, we have stayed in many places. We have to say that our experience staying at Andrew and Karyn’s was the best we had at an Airbnb.
Location: located on a walking street on the first floor, you are literally steps away from the action. The famous Ciya Sofrasi restaurant was so close that we ate there three times. You are only a few blocks away from the markets, and all of the street vendors.
Apartment: recently updated with all of the comforts you need. Kitchen gadgets, washing machine…and even a dryer! One thing that bugs me about Airbnb is they don’t state is the whole place isn’t air conditioned or not. The only drawback is that we didn’t know only one bedroom was air conditioned(each room has a fan though). Obviously not a big deal and not the hosts fault.
As for the hosts, they are a true class act. Along with their apartment manager, Alisher, they were quick to tend to our every need. My girlfriend became ill with stomach issues and Karyn went above and beyond by not only taking us to the hospital, but stayed to help translate (both are fluent in Turkish).
If you want to see a video of how great this place is, go on you tube and type “chubby and away Istanbul apartment tour”.
We will be staying here again!
