This is was my first experience with AirBNB. Mr. Chafik was the best host I could have prayed for. Right from the day I booked the place he was constantly in touch with me. My check-in was buttery smooth. The place was much better than I expected and in terms of I what I paid for, it was gold dust. His advice about how to travel around turkey and how to stay safe was very helpful. He remained in touch even after I checked out of his place and helped me book a car for rent too. This is probably the best and the most safe place for a foreigner in the whole of Istanbul. It's gated and very secure. So security was not at all a concern. Everything you need is at a walkable distance and the host Mr. Chafik is always a phone call away for your assistance.
