Yaprak's apartment is beautifully designed. There were only two of us staying and we had more than enough space. Yaprak is also one of the best Airbnb hosts that we've ever had. She was very responsive and helpful whenever we needed her. Although she wasn't able to meet us is person she was always available on the end of the phone. I feel obliged to mention that I do have one reservation on yaprak's apartment though. It is very well located to quickly get to the centre of beyoglu and all of the public transport that area has to offer. However, as it is in a residential and non-tourist area we did not feel particularly safe when out and about at night. We are both well travelled and have never before felt unsafe and we usually relish staying in areas where locals live. However, the area around the apartment is a bit "unsightly" with no street lights so if you are new to Istanbul it can feel I little threatening. To make it worse, no taxi driver would take us there. We showed them the address written down, maps with the apartment marked on and even used Google maps to direct them but even then they were not happy about going down the side streets to get to the apartment. Top tip though is to use uber! The uber drivers were fantastic and well worth spending the extra little bit of money on. For the same reason we were extremely grateful to Yaprak for organising our airport transfers. The driver could converse directly with her to arrange for the maid to come and open up the apartment for us. I don't know how we would have managed without this - well worth the extra money. Please don't let any of this put you off Yaprak's apartment. If you are a savvy traveller, don't walk around in the dark, have your wits about you and use uber (!), you should be fine. I just think it's important to be honest about this for any nervous travellers out there.
