where do I start? this is the best Airbnb experience I've had. First, let me say, the view in the pictures is actually better in real life! you will not have a better view of Istanbul anywhere else. We literally stayed home some times instead of going out because we could just stare at the view all day/night. Simay was terrific and helpful from the start of reservation till after check out. whole process was seamless, honest and accurate. I had to leave a horrible Airbnb experience after the first night and luckily I ended up at this place. the apartment was well stocked, clean and very comfortable. if you have a chance at staying at this apartment don't miss the opportunity it is amazing.
