I really enjoyed my two one-night stays at Istanberry - Dream Flats #12! Güner was very communicative via text/email, and Güven -- who lives in the building -- was very friendly and helpful. Both brothers helped me track down an outlet converter when I needed to charge my phone and didn't have one.

The building is very close to Taksim Square and Istiklal Street, so you're really in the heart of Istanbul's modern district. Be sure to bring your own toiletries (I lost my suitcase, along with all of my toiletries, while traveling) -- they aren't provided at Istanberry, which I think is fairly typical for Airbnb. However, if you don't have soap, toothpaste or another toiletry, there is a very convenient little store directly across from the building. I picked up new toiletries there. If you're on one of the upper floors, you get a great view of Istanbul's skyline. Overall, a good experience if you want to be near the thriving heart of Istanbul's social and commercial district.
