The airbnb is in a great location, steps away from the metro and Galata tower and walkable distance to the ferry. I’d say it’s nice for a short stay but not for a long stay. The apartment was not sound proof and we could hear everything that people talked about upstairs and their every movement, and it’s super close to a mosque so if you don’t plan to wake up at 6am to pray during the prayer call, then it may be too noisy. Overall the stay was comfortable but the shower did leak a lot when we took a shower. Ali was a really good host and very responsive. He has a washer and dryer in his office downstairs that you can use.
