Bahri and Nihal are hands down the best Air BnB hosts one could ever meet. Their level of care, friendliness and hospitality is astonishing! I have taken several trips with Air BnB and met many hosts who were wonderful, but Bahri and Nihal outshine them all.
First, the house. Beautifully kept house very close to the Marmaray train, Metro and the Uskudar ferries. Several grocery stores and bakeries are close by. The house is spotlessly clean and has all the amenities you need. Comfortable beds, well-stocked kitchen. There is a huge TV (I don't really watch TV, so I can't comment on the channels available). The tap water in Istanbul is not safe to drink so Bahri and Nihal left me some bottled water to get me started.
Second, the hosts. Bahri and Nihal communicated very well through the whole process. They met me personally at the house and oriented me well to the particulars of the property. They checked in with me multiple times throughout the stay to make sure everything was fine. They even invited me to their home for a lovely breakfast and tea! They are warm, caring people with two accomplished and friendly daughters. It was a true honor to meet their family. At the end of the stay, they arranged a taxi back to the airport (my flight was very early, so public transport was not an option at that hour).
Book any of their properties. You will be delighted with your decision.
