In ten years of Airbnb I don't think I have ever used the word "perfect", but now's the time. This large two-bedroom apartment is gorgeous, beautifully decorated, spotlessly clean and fully functional. The pictures don't quite do it justice. In a hot, noisy and chaotic city, it's the perfect retreat after a long day of sight seeing. There is a beautiful garden which the balcony overlooks and is a quiet oasis from the hustle and bustle of Istanbul. Located a few minutes walk from Galata Tower, numerous restaurants, a tram stop, shops etc., you'll never be too far from where you want to be. Host is responsive, friendly and there is 24hr security in the building. If we ever return to Istanbul, this is the only place we would stay. Highly recommended!
