I had the pleasure of staying at Murat’s flat on an extended visit to Istanbul. It was the first time I was truly sorry to move on from a stay at an Airbnb flat. The decor is exactly as shown and the neighborhood (Tophane) is by far my favorite in Istanbul as you’re close to everything however in a tucked away neighborhood of friendly locals. The tram is 100 meters from the flat and fantastic cafes are all around you. One thing to note for those with trouble with stairs there are quite few. But common for older flats and worth it for the view from the balcony. Murat is kind and always prompt with responses to questions. Highly recommended.
