I can’t say enough about this place!
I stayed in three different Airbnbs in Istanbul, including one in Beyoglu and one in Sultahnamet, and this was far and away the best. The location is excellent - right near the Main Street in Balat, which is full of cafes, restaurants and shops, and yet it’s still relatively quiet and comfortable. The place itself is incredible - tastefully decorated and inviting with incredible views of the Golden Horn from the room and the private balcony. It is well appointed and well stocked, and they even have filtered hot & cold water for drinking. Melis is warm, helpful, and easy to work with. The price is also incredibly reasonable for what you get - a great value.
I have already recommended this place to friends and will stay there again when I return to Istanbul. Don’t pass this up!
