it was my first time to use Airbnb, and i was a little bit worried about the usefulness of this application, since i was planning to stay in istanbul for long term visit (3 months) and i was lucky to find afsoon and shiva apart.
from the first messages, both Afsoon and shiva was welcoming and responded promptly, and trying to facilitate my trip.
when i arrived istanbul at 10 pm they were waiting for me despite my late arrival, and they were very helpfull and kind.
the apart. was clean, cozy, modern furniture, and looks like the pictures exactly, with good WiFi connection and all the amenities needed to feel that you are home and suitable for long term stay.
The location was great, in Şişli one of the most attractive area of istanbul, there are lots of choices bakery next door, coffee shops, hookah lounges, mosque, restaurants, bars, fashion boutiques, Cevahir mall and shopping centers..etc.
The place itself is a walking distance to Metro station (5 mins to osmanbay and Şişli statıons) and bus stop to take you to anywhere: Taksim Square, Fatih, the old city and to many areas in the province of Istanbul.
Joyful atmosphere and attractıve neighborhood which was nice to explore.
I recommend this place for everyone, and if i come back again to istanbul sure il choose Afsoon and Shiva apart. without any hesitancy.
Thank you Afsoon and Shiva for your hospitality.
