This was one of the loveliest Airbnb homes I've ever had the pleasure to stay in. Where to begin. The apartment itself is a little gem, with custom-made wood furnishings and little pieces of art built into it. There's a spacious living room/kitchen area with so many special touches and a peaceful energy, two bedrooms and a nice bathroom. It's on the ground floor so easy to pop out into the street, but its still quiet and private. The neighborhood is wonderful- full of cafes and special food stores and restaurants, near Taksim metro station, near bookstores and shopping, near everything. Ozge is a help with anything and everything, recommendations for food or sightseeing, and just a lovely person there as a resource. I wish I could have stayed longer, and hope to return. So highly recommended as a home in Istanbul!
