This was one of the best experiences we have had using Airbnb. To start with, Zeynep and Emin are lovely people - super helpful and providing us with excellent local tips during the whole stay. The apartment is located in a very well-maintained and secure building with two swimming pools, one on the top with a bar, offering tremendous views of the city. The apartment is very clean and spacious, it has everything you need for a long-term stay and also has great cooking facilities. The Internet is super fast and there is even a backup line, which was great for us as we worked remote. The neighbourhood is full of hip cafes, restaurants, bars and shops. You can basically find everything you need and you will still be far away from the tourist crowds. We will definitely recommend the apartment to all our friends visiting Istanbul.
