As first time Airbnb user, am glad & pleased with Akif's place.
The apartment is nice, clean and exceeded my expectations...the has everything you need from Hair Gel, umbrella to Air fresheners... The place in a quite road that is very close to Galata tower and walking distance to Istiklal or Taksim square (if you like to walk n explore the area)....the apartment exactly looks like the pictures show.
The only thing I find annoying (nothing to do with Akif or his apartment)
The building's residents ringing the house alarm 2-3 times a da asking for building access, didn't know what to do ignore them or let them in, at the end I let them in, still don't know to let them in was right or wrong. Overall a very good experience in Akif's place, I'd definitely recommend and stay there again.
