I have renewed appreciation for the convenience and flexibility offered by Air BnB. This stay in Istanbul was exactly that. Staying at the foot of the famous Galata Tower meant that we were at the center of civilization from 1,000 years ago..... where activities never ended even at 3am in the morning. This was a remarkable experience of being an integral part of old and new Istanbul, capped with a phenominal rental property with an exceptional host. Thank you Birol (our host) and Air BnB for making this trip a memorable one.
The property is exceptionally convenient and located right at the foot of the Galata tower. You can step out of the front entrnace and you would be string at the Galata tower less than 100 ft away. The chain of restaurants, the grocery store in front, the location at the center of the all places, meant that we could do daily trips to all over Istanbul will trams.....we were 11 people, very easily accomodayed on the teo floors we had......
