We LOVED our stay in this place. It was very clean, spacious, and had everything we needed in terms of amenities.
The location is perfect with easy access to key touristic places, and you can almost touch Galata tower from the windows of the living room. And it also feels very safe. The only downside of the location is that a lot of noise can come in as galata square is right there under the windows. It could also sometimes be loud through the night, like someone singing away in the middle of the night. Again, downside of being ultra central.
The communication was great, the team supporting the guests on the ground were super helpful and answered any questions we had right away.
The marble stairs in the apartment are beautiful but also a pain to go up and down, specially if you are carrying luggages. We had asked for a porter to be arranged and it was definitely necessary. But without luggages and for our daily use, it wasn't really that bad, even for may parents who are in their 60s.
The internet was also speedy and reliable, myself and my partner had many hours of meetings on our remote work without any trouble . An extension to the router is necessary though as some of the rooms in the apartment had very weak signals.
Overall, one of the best airbnbs I have stayed in, and I would defo recommend and stay again next time we are in Istanbul.
