Tuğba and Aytaç are the best Airbnb hosts i had until now, their house is located in Balat, a small and cozy neighborhood located in the european side of İstanbul. It's safe and close to the bus you're gonna love it if you're a photographer ! The house was clean and tidy with an air freshener and heater in every room, you can feel that it's a new house with a modern touch inside a vintage neighborhood full of cafés, street food, friendly people unlike the experience I had in Taksim or Kadıköy for instance. Overall, it was perfect ! Specially if you're a couple.
