I spent way too many hours on Airbnb looking for the perfect apartment for our 4-day trip...Luckily I don't think we could have landed at a better place. Şeyda has a charming apartment with high ceilings, carefully chosen furniture and design, simple but with great personality, a comfortable bed and sofa, leafy trees in the gardens behind the bedroom windows, birds singing in the morning...The location is perfect, just a quick stroll uphill from the Tophane tram stop and a quick run down from İstiklal Cd, on the cute and lightly animated street of Boğazkesen Caddesi. The apartment also reflects the charm of our kind-hearted hosts who met with us and shared their favorite spots in the city and sent us off with a great programme for the following days. Staying with them at this apartment made all the difference to our visit in the incredible city of Istanbul. Sad to go and eager to come back!
