I saw Deniz' lovely photo of her airbnb and booked it for 3 nights for 6 travelers having just spent 14 days in Madagascar. Deniz arranged transport from Istanbul airport to her place, a wonderful help as this was our first visit. The place is located on the first floor of an old, grand apartment building next to Kurutas Street, in a busy neighborhood with lots of shops, restaurants, modern grocery story and a bus stop.
Deniz met us as we arrived and was very gracious, explaining the basics of her place and how to get around. Her place is clean and well equipped with plenty of hot water for showers any time of day. There is a brand new fridge, a full stove, washer/dryer and A/C in the rooms. Although there is a great information booklet put together by Deniz, you might get further info on the operation of the washer/dryer and A/Cs in the back two rooms.
The place is large with plenty of space for the big table and two sofas in the common area.
The kitchen is convenient with stove, dishes, toaster, coffee pot and so on.
We were very happy to have found Deniz and this great space, and would recommend it to anyone visiting Istanbul. Additionally, Deniz is a great communicator and is willing and ready to assist - a real bonus for those new to Istanbul.
