Although this Airbnb is indeed in a wonderful location close to Galata Tower, and in beautiful condition (the decoration and furnishings are beautiful), I was overall disappointed in my experience.
In my experience, the advertisement on Airbnb was misleading regarding the amenities offered and the hosts were overall non-responsive.
Despite attempting to contact my host early to receive check in information, I didn’t receive any word until the morning of my stay. While this would work in most cases, I needed to get in touch early as I was traveling from the states and did not have international cell service.
Further, I asked for advice on reaching the location from the airport as Istanbul has a new airport I was unfamiliar with, and received no response or acknowledgement of my message.
I chose this location over a similar one in the area because it looked nicer and claimed to have all of the same amenities. However upon arrival I felt mislead. Our air conditioner worked so ineffectively it may as well not have been there and there was in fact no laundry service on site, as listed in the ad. It is instead an external service that you can request off-site, which although is still a service - it’s very different than having access to laundry on the premises.
Overall - I would not recommend to anyone.
