We were lucky to find this place last minute and Faruk saved us from our other Airbnb in Istanbul which was bad. I’m so glad we left there and found this place. This is a very nice renovated unit and building too. You have to walk 1 case of stairs to get to the elevator however, and its not a big elevator unfortunately, but still well kept and did the job. Room we stayed in was on the 3rd floor (unit 5) and appeared to be the only room with a balcony overlooking the street . It was very beautiful and well kept. Bathroom was clean and nicely designed with comfortable space to shower, use toilet and everything else. The bed, pillows and sheets were comfortable but note there are 2 twin mattresses connected so things can move a tiny but was never a huge issue for us. The area overall is very live and vibrant with many cafes and shops neighboring by. Some guests complained about noise and there were a few times it got a bit noisy outside because we stayed during a few celebrations but overall noise was mild and I’m someone who’s a light sleeper and slept well so it’s not a big issue from my honest experience. The sound insulation is actually quite well. Unit also has indoor A/C which was a big plus and works great and quietly. Balcony in the unit is in view of the Galata tower as well which was a big plus to be able to see and to get there nice and early and avoid the huge lines and people crowding around. Only other thing I could say is entering and exiting the bed and using storage cabinet for clothes is in a tight space but that’s the only thing I can think of worth mentioning. Faruk and Rashid were great and polite hosts and one of them helped us with getting our luggage to the room and even finding us a taxi back to the airport. I highly recommend!
