I travel extensively internationally and this trip to Istanbul my partner accompanied me and we stayed at an Airbnb for the first time and I was pleasantly surprised. The apartment was exactly as described on the website and sparkling clean. The location is as good as it could be which was important to my partner and I. It's a two minute walk to the Sishane metro station or the Tunel from which you can take the funicular to the Karakoy tram station. There is a great view of the Bosporus Strait which is spectacular because the entire wall has windows from floor to ceiling. There are a number of restaurants and markets within a five minute walk of the apartment. The location is also located within a few minutes walk of the lower portion of Istiklal Caddesi, a major pedestrian shopping and dining boulevard. My partner and I will most likely visit Istanbul again in the near future and we will definitely stay at Ertugrul's apartment. We did contact Ertugrul several times with questions and each time we received a response lirerally within a few minutes. I would recommend this apartment very highly.
