The host was friendly, greeted us upon arrival, showed a map of the area and gave useful recommendations such as places to visit, routes, restaurants, etc. The airport pickup service offered by him cost 30€ each way and it was convenient as traffic is crazy and taxi drivers don’t always speak English.
The room was clean, but there was no toilet paper and the shower area is extremely small.
In the “kitchen” area there was 1 bottle of water, tea and coffee. There was a small frigobar, a kettle and a mini stove with two burners. Also a pan, plates, cups/mugs and cutlery. Helpful if you want to prepare a small meal or have breakfast.
If you like extremely soft mattress, that is the perfect bed for you.
The city has A LOT of cats and this neighborhood is not different. Some of them will come to the balcony and beg for food.
Istambul is amazing and the location of this Airbnb is perfect to cover a lot just by walking. There is a free walking tour just 10 min walk from there.
The area looks pretty safe.
