Clean, bright, and comfortable, with stunning views, good appliances, and every amenity we needed.
Having stayed at a number of Airbnb's around Beyoğlu in the past, this was by far my favorite. Finding this apartment as described was a relief because I was accompanying my mother who doesn’t travel much. As is noted in the description there is no elevator, which is very common in this part of Istanbul. But if you break a sweat climbing the stairs to the flat, you’ll be happy opening the door to very effective air conditioning as cold as you’d like.
In terms of locations, it can't be beat for sightseeing by foot around Galata and across the bridge to the old city. Ferries and other forms of transportation are nearby if you want to visit Anatolia, the islands, or any other part of the city.
The hosts were very responsive and friendly. I highly recommend this listing.
