What a GEM of a studio! Fantastic location, ultra friendly and responsive host, clean and comfortable. There are a number of great cafes and shops in the surrounding neighborhoods. Serves as a great place from which to explore the "modern" side of Istanbul. A few notes: there is a fairly steep spiral staircase, so keep that in mind if you have mobility or luggage issues. Also, if you're planning to spend most of your time at the historic sites in the "old" part of the City (i.e. Hagia Sophia, Blue Mosque, Basilica Cistern, Grand Bazaar), taxi drivers can be a bit cranky about driving across town during peak traffic hours. It may take a few tries to get a driver to accept your fare. But all in all, we give this AirBnB a 10/10! We'd absolutely stay here again next time we're in Istanbul. Thanks, Emrah, for a fantastic stay!
