Really wonderful place. It’s clearly lived in when not getting rented out on airbnb, and that makes it feel much more homey and welcoming. It also means it’s so much better set up with everything you need compared with typical airbnbs run by management companies, investors, etc. For example, there were large water coolers available where as you had to buy and carry in all your drinking water in all the other rentals I’ve had in Turkey. The location is perfect- a few steps away from İstiklal, lots of cute shops and great food in the Tomtom neighborhood down the street, and easy walks to Galata and Cihanger.
The host was very sweet and extremely responsive. Always texted back immediately and was very helpful with anything I needed.
Highly recommended!
