Demir’s apartment is definitely a gem! It’s located in one of the most beautiful neighbourhoods in Istanbul. It is very close to the sea—you can go for a run or walk by the sea while watching the sun set over the European continent— and there are many cafes and restaurants nearby that you can try. As a person who stayed at countless airbnbs in Istanbul over many years, I can say that the apartment is the best value for the price. It is new, modern, and it has everything that you need for a long term stay.
And Demir is definitely the best host ever! He was extremely helpful and accommodating throughout my stay.
