The apartment is fantastic, very clean and in the best location you’d want to live in as a tourist visiting Istanbul for the first time. Definitely use the host’s airport pickup option because they know exactly where to drop you off which could be confusing for others.
The check in was a little effort to take luggage up to the second level since there isn’t an elevator. I think I was made aware of this only after I booked the Airbnb. I wish theyd made this more apparent on the listing, especially for folks who are specifically looking for accessibility concerns like I was for my old parents
