By far one of the best airbnbs we have ever stayed at. Handan was super responsive to all my questions both before the trip and during. The apartment is perfect for three people but four could also work using the couch in the hall (largely because its one of the rare homes with two bathrooms). The elevator is a blessing and the view is worth the booking alone.
Just sitting by the huge windows with a view to die is how we spent every morning and night of our ten day trip. The beds are comfortable, the place is spotlessly clean and the location (just around the corner from Galata) can't be beat.
There are countless restaurants and cafes around the area. Bakeries for your morning coffee, bars for your evening apperitif, shopping for all your souvenirs, and the Sishane metro a hop and skip away connecting you to the rest of the city.
We had the most wonderful holiday and would definitely recommend Handan and her beautiful home to anyone looking for a perfect base in Istanbul.
