This place is INCREDIBLE!!! It is even better in person.
(1) The location is spectacular. It is right in the middle of everything. The Metro is a 3 minute walk. We kept returning to our neighborhood for dinner because the restaurants are so great.
(2) Dodo was the best Airbnb host I've ever had. He was incredibly responsive, left detailed notes and guides to Istanbul that we followed to great success, and met us promptly for key access. If he couldn't personally bring something we needed, he had someone who came by instead. He was friendly and kind.
(3) The unit has everything you could possibly need....including a washer AND dryer!!! It's spacious, decorated beautifully, and thoughtfully laid out. Both my friend and I work remotely and the unit had places for us to set up and do some meetings.
(4) The building is secure and gorgeous. Vintage vibes with none of the vintage hassles.
All in all, I would say this is the best Airbnb experience I have ever had. If you're going to Istanbul, this is THE place to stay.
