Very comfortable, clean, spacious, and nicely designed airbnb.
The space: Excellent. Airy living room with views of Cihangir's sloping hills. The living room side of the apartment gets an abundant amount of sunlight, and the sunsets are often stunning. Couch is great for lounging. Nice mirrors. Overall a welcoming and cozy apartment.
Check-in: Excellent. Very friendly host. Greeted and met me in person upon arrival and made sure I had everything I need. Always accessible by phone or text message. There was a one-time issue with water but all was resolved promptly.
Location: Very good. Located down the hill of both Taksim Square and Cihangir, the Airbnb is on a quiet, nondescript, and safe street. Metro and ferry are walking distance. It was my first visit to Istanbul and felt the location was sufficiently convenient.
Access: Good. Like many areas in the neighborhood, there are plenty of hills, and the streets and stairs leading to the apartment building are particularly formidable, so just be prepared for some serious leg workout. The street is on a one-way and though taxis/ubers are not as easy to get it is not impossible.
Shower: Excellent. Great water pressure and hot water was always in ready supply.
Bed: Very good. Medium firm, plenty of beddings.
Wifi: Above average. Not slow, not ultra fast. Most important was that I was able to Zoom with just minor interruptions.
Amenities: Hair dryer, iron, ironing board. Laundry washer (!) was a lifesaver.
Cleanliness: Flawless.
