Before staying in this Airbnb, we stayed in Fatih for a month and looked out dozens of other listings. After interacting with each host and walking through each apartment, this listing and Emrah were hands down the best in accommodation and hospitality.
If you are staying in Istanbul, I wholeheartedly recommend Emrah's apartment. It has all the amenities and is in a wonderful location: a quiet street but close enough to the main road that all the shops are a 2 min walk away. The market is amazing: you can find anything you could think of and Kanyon mall (a really nice shopping centre) is a 10 min walk away which I highly recommend you visit.
Emrah is the perfect host - he is always very responsive and helped us with every need. We were applying for a residence permit and he even helped us arrange some of the documents and translations to Turkish. As a couple who did not speak Turkish, his English was amazing and he couldn't have been more helpful. He did an excellent job settling us in Ortabyir with recommendations and accommodating our work from home needs during the pandemic. His office is very close to the apartment, so he is always there and willing to help!
Thank you Emrah!
