We absolutely LOVED our stay here. We had a week in Istanbul and wanted to stay somewhere a bit off the beaten track and we couldn't have picked a more perfect and charming neighbourhood. The historical sights are not within walking distance, of course, but if you have the time to spend in Istanbul away from the touristy hustle and bustle I would definitely recommend this area. The apartment is stylish, spacious and feels very private, a perfect space for a couple. The streets feel safe and the locals are friendly, and you are spoilt for choice for cafes and restaurants (try Pop's down the road!) The hosts were helpful, kind and prompt in their replies and made sure that you were enjoying your stay. This was one of our favourite air bnb's yet and we would absolutely love to stay here again next time we visit Istanbul.
