Saffire was our first airbnb-experience and it passed the test with flying colours.
The appartment is as pretty as it looks on the pictures (although with slight modifications to the furniture), it is meticulously kept and very clean. The view is stunning and the location couldn't have been better: Walking distance from Istanbul's liveliest districts with bars and Restaurants, also close to the main Shopping street Istiklali Cad.
Yes, five stories without elevator is quite something with stairs as steep as these, but we would immediately take this appartment again and can only highly recommend it to whoever goes to fascinating Istanbul.
One word on Hatice: You couldn't wish for a more responsive and caring host than her. Just wonderful. She helped arranging the Airport Transfer without charging an extra for it and also had lots of tips where to go (and eat) and what to do.
