The location is as good as it gets in Istanbul! The street is lively but not noisy. This area is filled with great cafes, galleries, restaurants but not a party zone. It would be hard to find a better location. The flat was spacious and clean. I get the feeling that this flat may be new to Airbnb as the host was buying things for the flat and having them delivered while we were there. This is probably a good thing since the flat lacked a few basic necessities but will probably soon be supplied. The communication was good. The flat was clean. The area feels extremely safe. I stayed almost 3 months in Istanbul and occupied 4 Airbnbs in my time. This was by far my favorite. I can recommend this place.
