Farouq has a lovely place, which is located in the heeart of Istanbul's tourist area, with all of the city's sites to see conveniently located within a few minutes' walk.
The place is clean with modern bathrooms and other amneties.
Our host remained in touch from the time of booking to check out and even beyond. He arranged transport from and to the airport as well as accommodating our odd check-in and check-out timings.
This was my first trip to Istanbul as well as first Airbnb experience. Both went better than expected. I dare say I feel I have found a new friend!
