Handan is an amazing host and my experience was exactly the reason that makes Airbnb such a great institute! The apartment was exactly as it appears in the pictures - immaculate, tasteful and very well-appointed. Always a deciding factor, the bed was very comfortable. Handan was in touch throughout my stay, checking to see if all was well and extending her offer for suggestions on anything I wanted to do in the city. The location of the apartment is very convenient to walking everywhere in Istanbul, which is what I love so much about the city. I felt absolutely safe and comfortable staying with Handan. Istanbul is one of my favorite cities in the world and I look forward to my next trip. Without hesitation, I recommend staying at Handan's place!
