The best Airbnb apartment we stayed in!! Perfect location! It is close to all public transportation and Taksim Square is just up the hill from the apartment. We really enjoyed the fresh fruit market right next to the apartment. The neighborhood is very safe and we felt even safer with the super thick steal door with double locks. We really felt like it was our home away from home. The place is exactly as shown in the pictures and is even more lovely in person. The entire flat is spotlessly clean and very beautifully decorated. The amenities were great and well stocked/equipped! There is plenty of hot water. The hosts are absolutely fabulous. We arrived later than expected, but Verda waited for us at the apartment and welcomed us with chocolates and gave us a tour of the place and explained everything to us before leaving. Communication before and during our stay was extremely pleasant and. Berna frequently checked in on us to make sure we were doing okay and that all our needs were met. My husband and I stayed a week here, but could have easily stayed for a month. We will definitely stay here again on our next trip to Istanbul! We highly recommend this flat!
