Birim's place is a rare gem in Istanbul. I never felt so "at home" in. an Airbnb. I don't have words to describe it without exaggeration. I stayed more than a month so I think it was long enough for me to have a realistic view but nothing short of "amazing" in all aspects. The flat is spacious, bright filled with art.and quirky decoration touches and full of life. On a street that is steps away from Istiklal, and all the lovely places in Cihangir. Birim's recommendations, whether it was for food or a hairdresser, hasn't let me down. He is a fantastic host who responds very quickly. I would definitely want to stay here any time I come to Istanbul.
