The hosts are rapidly responsive and helpful!
I definitely recommend this Airbnb for a big group, as the hosts have another apartment in the building which could be rented out as well, and it has an elevator for an easy commute.
The building is modern, secure, and located in a convenient neighborhood with walking proximity to many sites, restaurants, and the tram station (a huge benefit due to the heavy traffic in Istanbul). The master shower is great, amenities such as a hair dryer and video intercom for deliveries were appreciated, and the warm colors of the apartment create a cozy atmosphere. Additionally, the location is such that you can hear the call to prayer faintly, reminding you where you are, but it isn’t so loud as to wake you up.
This unit is located on the first floor, which means there may be some noise from the street. But that isn’t constant, there is air conditioning so you don’t need to keep the window open, and it’s nice to feel part of the city.
