An all round terrific Air BnB experience. Ali was a fantastic host, faultlessly polite, helpful and informative. He provided detailed instructions for our arrival, including instructions in Turkish to show to taxi drivers (which proved invaluable on several occasions), and responded promptly to any questions we sent.

The apartment itself is in a great location in a very trendy part of the city, just off the main Istiklal shopping street and a short walk from both a metro and a tram directly to the old town. It was well-furnished and spotlessly clean when we arrived. The major selling point, however, is the view from the balcony, which is simply spectacular at all hours of the day and night.

Very highly recommended.
