This was my first Airbnb booking. I intended to book near Sultanahmet mosque, but we saw this and booked it for the view and private terrace. I am so grateful I booked this location.
The 3 days we stayed there felt like I was at home, all the amenities I needed were there. Had I stayed in a hotel I would have missed the opportunity of being near the culture and the neighborhood in Uscudar. The apartment is on the very top floor, entirely private. The building has one entrance but multiple floors with private entrances,like apartments.
The view from the private terrace is scenic and a person is able to see the life from top, the restaurants, cars and people. I was just impressed and I wish I had booked for more days.
We would have breakfast at Askudar Cafe every morning and ate Kunafee with Chai just around the corner.
To get to the other side you only need to get the transportation card (at a kiosk) put money in it and use it for Ferries or train, very cheap.
