Mithra’s airbnb was an amazing deal! It’s centrally located, right down the street from all the shopping and happenings at and around Taksim square. The room itself is small but exactly as the photos show! I really appreciated the patio overlooking the alley, it made for excellent people watching. The shower was hot, the bed was comfortable, and though you can hear the occasional honking car (people love to honk their horns in Istanbul!) it was a pretty quiet and private space in the middle of the big city. Our host was EXTREMELY responsive and generous, we flew into Istanbul super early in the morning and he was gracious enough to let us check in extra early so we could get some morning rest, I was so thankful for that. He also gave us recommendations for where to get our laundry done and pick up some things we needed. The room was well-heated, super nice for winter! I would 100% stay there again! Thank you for the amazing hospitality!
