My stay at Begum's place has exceeded all my expectations. The apartment itself is in my favourite area of Istanbul. Normally, such location comes with a price, where central always means noisy, but not in this apartment. It is located in surprisingly quiet street amid a lot of trendy going-out places, bars , restaurants, etc. It is one of the cleanest and cosiest Airbnb's I've stayed in. Moreover, Begum has been the friendliest host, always willing to help, from the checking in process to finding an affordable taxi ride early in the morning during my departure.
