Tl;dr comfort, location and hosts made my 5 weeks stay in this apartment the best airbnb experience I ever had.
Comfort - people actually live in this apartment so super functional and comfortable, well designed and quiet for amazing sleep and the building is equipped with elevator. The place was super clean and all the furnitures are in good shape and beautiful. Strong shower head.
Top location- 4 minutes walk to osmanbey metro station with a nice walk in a safe and relatively flat road. Many supermarkets and restaurants all around, only 7 minutes walk to hip Nisantisi with some of Istanbul best boutiques restaurants and bars.
The hosts- Emre & his girlfriend were amazingly friendly and communicative, super helpful and kind. It was a pleasure engaging with them. They made a booklet with instructions and recommendations that was very helpful.

I work remotely and came to
Istanbul for 5 weeks and this apartment had everything I needed - strong internet, home feeling, quiet, great heatting with hot water 24/7 and amazing comfortable bed and sofa to chill in! It also has a small office room with comfortable desk and chair.
The hosts were kind enough to arrange the sweetest cleaning lady Meryam to clean the house every week for extra pay. It made my experience even better.
Sisli is a very busy neighborhood due to its location and proximity to everything cool and happening. Many parts of sisli can be loud, difficult to walk in and sometimes unsafe. This appartment is at the best location. I stayed in it alone but could be amazing for a couple or even 3 good friends.
