Where do I start?
Please read this entire review before booking with Tunc at this place.
This was my 1st trip to Istanbul and my 1st Airbnb outside America.
My flight from New York arrived at 6 am and I checked in the apartment around 8 am. The host, Tunc was kind enough to let me check-in that early.
I entered the place and was stunned to see how clean and tidy it was.
Tunc had kept fresh flowers for me as a welcome gesture.
I had requested some groceries, Tunc had everything in place for me.
This apartment is located in a super clean building on a quiet, peaceful lane just 5 mins from Istiklal street (the heart of entertainment).
I felt very safe staying here.
The elevator goes right to the apartment. No other apartment on the floor.
So, you get your privacy.
No loud music at Nite.
We can walk to Taksim Square in 10 mins. Public transport from there takes you to different locations in Istanbul.
Lots of local cafes and eateries on the way.
The highlight of the apartment is surely the balcony.
I spent numerous occasions sipping coffee or having my meals while enjoying the absolutely stunning views.
So peaceful, so calm to watch the beautiful Galata Tower, the river and other attractions from the balcony during different times of the day.
The host, Tunc is a Rockstar. He answered all my questions promptly.
He goes all out to see you happy. Thanks, Tunc for the Latte and mini-Brownies.
I would absolutely recommend this place to someone who wants to have fun, stay safe and create beautiful memories in Istanbul.
Thank you again Tunc for everything.
Hope we meet again in the near future.
