Honestly, this was one of the best airbnb’s I’ve ever stayed in! I am very pleased with my experience! It's a renovated flat with very cool interior design on the second floor of a historical building building minutes away from Istiklal Avenue. The flat itself was very CLEAN and secure with key pad entrance to the building as well as the actual flat. Both the apartment building and the flat have heavy metals door with modern locks. The building was very easy to find and accessible for late check-in - nice for those like myself with unsure schedules. I found the apartment to be incredibly well equipped with and comfortable. The location was great for exploring the Taksim Square area and Old Istanbul - especially because the flat is VERY close to public transportation!
There is always something to do 24/7 in area. Host, Mia also provided some incredible tips - her guidebook is definitely worth checking out! There’s also plenty of local as well as international shopping brands and unlimited amount of restaurants walking distance to the flat! Mia was incredibly friendly and answered all my questions instantaneously, and checked on me regularly! This is an excellent choice if you want a place for good value that is very central and CLEAN :)
