DO NOT HESITATE! Book this place NOW!
Take it from us, with 2 years of very unpleasant and negative Airbnb experiences not just in Istanbul but across Turkey! This is by far the most pleasant and outstanding Airbnb experience I've had in Turkey.
Güner and his team are all very professional, courteous, friendly and helpful; the units have everything you may need for a short stay (we extended our stay and experienced two of their units so I know what I'm talking about), and it's all at a great location within walking distance of Istiklal and Taksim.
Don't let the surrounding buildings discourage you. This will be your haven in the chaotic melting pot that is Istanbul.
We'll definitely come back and recommend this place to everyone!
Keep it up Istanberry team! We hope that the rest of Airbnb hosts in this country take a lesson or two from you and your well-deserved success!
Teşekkurler,
Maryam & Massoud
