This apartment is certainly worth the price. The view of the Bosphorus is great. The shower is incredible. The location is good in that you are in an exciting area of Istanbul. Mehmet was friendly.
There were also issues I think prospective guests should be aware. I was disappointed in what was provided in the Airbnb. We were staying for a week and there was no trash bags for us to use. There was no laundry detergent—Mehmet did offer to reimburse us for purchasing it. There were no paper towels. Closet space was taken up by a broken floor lamp. The bed sheets had some tiny stains on them.
Finally, the location was very, very difficult to find in the middle of the night. I would have appreciated photos that made it very clear how to get to the apartment from the Main Street. Also, it was at the bottom of very steep stairs, so taking luggage up and down was tough.
Again, not major issues on their own, but enough together to keep me from saying that this was a truly excellent stay.
