Our family of five had the great pleasure staying @ CasaLoBueno#3 for four days in March. Very near the Galata Tower, this apartment has been beautifully renovated and made us feel very much at home. The location is wonderful for exploring Istanbul, as it is very near transportation. It is also located in a vibrant area with shopping, restaurants, and markets very close.
What made our stay even better was the gracious and welcoming host, Izel, who not only arranged our transportation from the airport, but also took the time to explain the apartment and the neighborhood to our family. He even provided cards for the metro and tram, as well as a pre-paid phone. Izel also walked the neighborhood with us and showed us how to use the transportation system. His recommendations for restaurants, shopping, and things to do in Istanbul were highly appreciated - and he was so very correct! We cannot thank Izel enough for all that he did for us!
This was our first time using Airbnb. With an experience as wonderful as this, we are sure to do so again. We are so very happy that we chose CasaLoBueno #3, and we cannot recommend it highly enough! Fabulous!
