The short story: If you're traveling to Istanbul solo or with your spouse this is where you want to stay!!! Stop your search and book this property!!!
The long story: We've stayed in great AirBnB locations around the world. Is there a perfect rental. Probably not. This is as close as you're going to get (for example at 6' 4" I wish the loft space where the bed is located was a few inches higher). The apartment is amazing. Big, full of light, great floors, walls and windows. The small details (the old brick walls, the massive bookshelf, all of Pinar's art and artifacts, good wireless) are wonderful. There's purpose, comfort and warmth that you don't expect in a rental. You feel like you're in your own home. Then. There's the roof-top deck. It's small and only has a pair of simple folding chairs. Plan on having a bottle of wine each night at sunset. It doesn't get old!!! Can't beat the location. The neighborhood is fun. So much to do within walking distance. Very close to all public transportation (The Tunel is a lifesaver after a long day of exploring). Finally. Pinar is great. She's quick to respond. She is a nice person. And she clearly has more style then 99.8 percent of us. A truly great property!!!
