Dear all my family had a one week stay in Istanbul near Taksim square. The place I chose for my family through Airbnb was Mr Kareems Apartment. Although I have never been to Turkey I chose the place based on the comments from the people who experienced the place. I would like to admit that my family were looked after extremely well. My wife is very particular about cleanliness and when she says it is clean I knew it would be very clean. Mr Kareem is a very kind and generous host. He will look after his guests 24/7. Since my wife and son had their first experience in Turkey, Istanbul Mr Kareem made sure that every they get the best treatment. He will go out of his way to help his guests. My family stayed at the ground level. Their apartment was right in front of the market outside where one can get everything. His place is located very central to all the tourist sites. As tourists we may get many places to stay in Istanbul but one my not get a person with such a warm helpful personality. Mr Kareem will go out of his way to help his guests.
I highly recommend this place. And advise the first time travelers to avoid getting lost in Istanbul and should without any hesitation stay here.
