The apartment was light and airy, with a good kitchen and lovely terrace with great views, outdoor chairs, but no outdoor table.
Ali was very helpful in explaining everything to us, providing us with a map and an Istanbul card, and telling us where we could eat and catch public transport. These were all within a short walk of the apartment. He also arranged for a taxi to take us to the airport on the morning of our departure. He also took the trouble to find me some soy milk after I requested it.
On the AirBnB site it does show, in the pictures of this apartment, that the bedroom ceiling sloped. My only advice to potential renters is to be aware that the bedroom could be difficult to manage – headroom of one metre when walking around one side of the bed, and not a lot of clothes storage space.
Apart from that minor inconvenience, we enjoyed staying there and experiencing Istanbul and the life on vibrant, nearby Istiklal Road.
