I've stayed in quite a few Airbnbs, but I can say unequivocally that my stay with Hatice ranks as one of my best experiences! In particular, I have never had such great value with respect to the accommodations. The apartment is a well-maintained two bedroom unit with a nice living room and kitchen. The apartment is situated close to the excitement of Istitklal but far enough that noise isn't an issue. Getting around to other popular parts of Istanbul with public transportation or taxi service was very convenient. Above all, Hatice is a spectacular hostess who was helpful throughout the stay and gave great recommendations for restaurants, shopping, and of course a Turkish bath. Istanbul is a fun and fabulous metropolis with natural and man-made beauty alike, and you won't go wrong experiencing it staying with Hatice!
