My favourite Airbnb in Istanbul so far!
/// THE APARTMENT The apartment has a unique charm with its brick walls and high vaulted ceiling. As someone passionate about design and minimalism, I enjoyed staying there. Also, it has a long table (actually 2 adjoining tables) at which you can comfortably work with a notebook. Wifi allowed me to make good quality calls with my colleagues (through Teams). The little balcony is a real plus as it offers a very nice view on the colorful buildings around.
/// THE LOCATION It is extremely well located, a few meters away from my beloved places such as kırmızı kedi, fıccın restaurant and the Soho House. It is also close to Şişhane Metro station.
/// THE HOST Although I hadn't the chance to meet Lara, communicating through text was easy. Lara provided me all the necessary information to self check in easily and answered to my various questions throughout my stay in a timely and also very friendly manner.
I have already booked my next stay at Lara's place... so this is probably more eloquent than words.
PS: I have one caveat: if you are very sensitive to noise, it is probably not the place for you as it is really in the heart of a very lively district. So you can hear conversations, music and the typical street rumours even fairly late. But that's also the charm of the city. It didn't refrain me from sleeping well!
