We were mostly in contact with Atajan. He was very responsive and always went above and beyond to address our requests. He was one of the friendliest and most responsive hosts I have ever had on Airbnb. The home was extremely clean and looked just like the pictures. The location is PERFECT. It is not too close to Taksim and hence not in a too crowded area, but it is close enough to walk there. Few steps to bus stations, and the street has everything: grocery, fresh fruits, banks, currency exchange, bakery; everything is just a couple steps to get. Roads around Sisli area could be very steep, but this street was completely smooth and convenient. Te home also has an elevator and all this made it very comfortable for my parents. The beds are very comfortable. The terrace is very cute. We very much enjoyed our stay and will definitely be back when we visit Istanbul again.
