the best airbnb deal in istanbul was this apartment. great value for ur money. 15 minutes walk down the hill u will be at tram way that will take u just about everywhere in istanbul. 10 minutes walk up the hill it will take u to main street in istanbul where u can catch a bus to go just about everywhere. the apt. was fully functional. great hot water pressure and located on the first floor. mohammad was a great host. every other day he would call to make sure everything was alright. i would definitley stay there again.
