Alexis' flat is absolutely perfect. His brother and mother very kindly waited up for us to check in until 2.30am because of delays at the airport. The flat is just like the pictures but even better. Really big flat with high ceilings, impeccably clean and fitted with everything you may need. The location is incredible as well! Very close to Taksim square but in a really cool artsy area with nice little lanes and cafes. Highly recommend the restaurant 'No 19' just up the road for delicious home cooked Turkish meals in a sophisticated setting and the Hope Cafe for a delicious Turkish breakfast and great customer service. Alexis was also very quick to respond if we had any questions and was very easy to reach. All in all, probably the best Airbnb I've visited thus far and will definitely want to stay again on future visits to beautiful Istanbul! Thank you so much Alexis for helping make our trip so fantastic!
