This Airbnb is a great choice for staying in Istanbul and exploring the city! The neighborhood Kadikoy is incredible, full of trendy cafes, hip bars, shops, restaurants, and markets nearby. There are also Metro stops nearby, and a ferry to reach both sides of the European side very easily as it runs often and the ride is not long.
Our host Ece is very kind and welcoming, plus her cats are friendly and fun.
Also, she has a great guidebook of recommendations - we went to 3 and were so happy with all of them.
The Airbnb itself is nice - the room is spacious, clean, and has plenty of space to store personal belongings along with a desk. The rest of the Airbnb is clean and tidy, and open for guests, making you feel welcome.
Highly recommend this place!
