I stayed at Emine's place for 2 weeks with my friend and I really had an amazing experience. I have being using Airbnb for some years now and believe me when I say it has been my best experience so far. Emine was very responsive and reactive since the beginning. I arrived late at night and she managed to arrange a transfert from the airport for me and she greeted me at the appartement in person, even if it was late.
The pictures of the flat cannot show how confortable and beautiful is the flat. It was very clean when we arrived, fully equipped and incredibly luminous during the day !
It is situated in a really calm and quiet neighborhood with a lot of cafe and charming restaurant just a few meters from the appartement.
You only have a 10 minutes walk to go to Taksim where you can find all types of transport to explore the city and where there is a lot of shops, stores, restaurants and cafe.
Also from the flat you have a 15 minutes walk if you want to get to the Bosphore and the tram stop Tophane.
I really felt very safe in the neighborhood and had excellent meals and cafe !
I would recommend this place a 100% and I am very grateful for Emine's hospitality and incredible fast response anytime I needed an advice or something.
She is a perfect host and this is the perfect place to stay in Istanbul !
