This is the perfect place to stay if you’re traveling to Istanbul!
The location is absolutely amazing! This space is located in such a great neighborhood filled with multiple cafes, restaurants, and markets. One of our nights in Istanbul was spent going to multiple cafes in the area and enjoying the atmosphere alongside many Istanbul natives. It’s also a short walk to Taksim Square, Istiklal street, and the metro which makes your stay in Istanbul memorable and accessible.
The Airbnb is very clean, comfortable, and it offers such an amazing view of the Bosphorus, which we absolutely enjoyed at sunrise, sunset and at night from Ozan’s couch.
Lastly, Ozan was such a kind host. From the beginning of our stay until the very end, Ozan was so helpful (helped us with our bags, gave us a tour of the place, txted recommendations of local places to enjoy, and even helped us order a taxi to the airport.
This was our first big travel experience; this Airbnb and Ozan made this entire trip unbelievably memorable. If we’re ever back in Istanbul, I would stay here again and for anyone traveling to Istanbul, I can’t recommend this place enough.
Note: I know this Airbnb may seem pricier compared to other options but it is absolutely worth it.
Lastly, the stairs up to the space are narrow like other reviewers describe but do not let it deter you!
