This is the best Airbnb that I have stayed in for what I was looking for at brilliant value. Ozancan communicated with me by WhatsApp throughout & was waiting for me outside the apartment when I arrived. He carried my very heavy suitcase up the stairs for me which I was very grateful for after a long journey. As stated in the description the apartment is located on the second storey with 34 stairs but they are not steep. Walking into the apartment was a blessed relief as the air-conditioning was set to a very welcoming 22 degrees to cool me down from the heat of Istanbul. Ozancan showed me everything in the apartment and how it worked & followed this up with a number of useful links and videos. The apartment is a great size and very light and airy and was a very good size. The kitchen was very well equipped allowing me to prepare all my meals with plenty of pans, utensils & crockery. The Wi-fi was very good quality and the power of the shower was amazing. It was lovely to sit on the balcony & watch the residents in the neighbourhood go about their business. There is a great greengrocer/supermarket 20 metres away which catered for most of my needs and a butcher, bakery & off-licence within 200 metres made it very convenient. I stayed for 8 days and thoroughly enjoyed my stay with not one complaint. Ozancan & Arzu provided some very nice touches with an excellent selection of cold drinks in the fridge and some sweet selections. You are obviously not right in the centre of Istanbul but the taxis are very cheap so you can get to most places for around €5. I hope to come back again.
