This was my first experience with airbnb and i am very happy with the apartment, location and price. It is right next to Taksim square, in a walking distance to Dolmabahce and Kabatas station. Apartment has everything we needed for a 4 day stay in Istanbul (like hairdryers, iron, toiletries like shampoo, soap and etc...)and even more. Nicholas and Deniz are very responsive hosts, and they let us to check out very late without any extra payment, also and they were nice to arrange transfer to Sabiha Gokcen airport. The driver was right on time, he was very nice to help us with all our bags, and the ride to the aiport was very comfortable. We also visited a restaurant next to our apartment for a dinner, and went for a coffee in a small coffee shop right in front of our apartment, the food is very nice and coffee was perfect. There are many cafes, shops and restaurants next the apartment, but the place is located far from all the noise. I would definetely recommend this place for my friends for their next visit to Istanbul.
