It was our first visit to Istanbul with my husband and parents, and we opted for an Airbnb. Mehmet's 2-bedroom apartment was perfect for our stay: clean, neat, with air conditioning and all conveniences, close to the tram station. We could go by foot to Galata Tower and cross the Galata Bridge, there are several food shops and nice bars nearby. Mehmet is very nice, super helpful and available host, showed us the neighbourhood and advised on the best restaurants and spots to visit, and even helped with reservation. Always answered our messages quickly. A true pleasure to stay at his place.
