My two friends and I had a wonderful stay at Mersin’s home. It was clean, bright, and airy, which is exactly what we were looking for in a longer stay. The Airbnb had everything we needed: equipped kitchen, washer, hanging rack, towels/linens, etc. There is a pazar/market every Sunday that is very convenient for doing weekly groceries and shopping. It is perfectly located so it’s an easy walk to Taksim, Pera, Galata, Cihangir, and other nearby neighborhoods. There is a nearby pharmacy (ezcane) and convenience stores for getting water and snacks. While it’s close to the main Istiklal Caddesi, it was relatively quiet on our street at night. The AC worked great and the electric fans in each room were a nice addition for hot summer nights. Would recommend this place for guests looking to stay near one of the main centers of Istanbul!
