This is honestly one of the best places I have stayed at with Airbnb. The location is excellent - very close to the metro, the tram line and galata tower. But it’s also in a quiet side street next to the first church in Istanbul so it’s very peaceful. I felt completely safe walking home as a lone female in this neighbourhood. The room, and house is really comfortable and I immediately felt welcomed and at home. The best part about this place though are the hosts - Sapphire and Arif (and the adorable Paris the French bulldog). Both Sapphire and Arif are kind and friendly and always helpful. They were incredible helping me find a taxi to get to the airport, and when I drove away I truly felt like I was leaving dear friends. Sapphire is great to talk to and very interesting - but they will also give you space if you need it. Believe all the fantastic reviews - this is a place with heart and soul and it made my time in a wonderful city even better.
