Ukron was very helpful and responsive from day one. This was my first airbnb booking in a foreign country and he made me feel very comfortable about this. This place is close to Istiklal street which is a lively street pretty much all the time - if your a night person this area is for you. if you are looking more towards historical places and grand bazaar (shopping) then I would suggest booking in Sultanahmad area as its much closer. There is a tram train that takes you there but its a good 10 min walk from this place. Ukron's place is very modern looking and the view is spectacular. The kitchen is fully equipped. There were no towels so make sure you bring your own towels with you because no place close sold towels. The building guards unfortunately did not speak English so it was quite difficult to understand each other however they were very helpful and responsive, we communicated via google translator. Overall I would highly recommend this place, grab a map of Istanbul from the airport or from surrounding hotels as it would be very handy and helpful. Thank you Ukron for your kind hospitality!!
