Baris is one of the best hosts we´ve had on Airbnb, we chose to stay in this apartment longer than expected because of the treatment and the place itself. The space has been our home away from home, it has everything you expect and more, Baris was kind enough to bring us an oven and a couple of tables we needed to be fully comfortable. We are digital nomads and need a private space where we can do our work and still feel like we belong. The apartment is located in an old, narrow street in the heart of Istanbul, there are local shops and bakeries all around, it´s a quiet place, you get normal noise from the street but nothing to disturb you all day, neighbors behave and we have made friends with doves who come to our balcony to be fed! It can get cold inside during winter because it has very old windows but wifi works great! In general, you will feel like a local. Consider this apartment for long stay if that is what you are looking for.
