This was our first experience with airbnb and it certainly won't be the last. Fatih couldn't be more accomodating as a host. On our arrival he gave us a quick introduction to what to do and see in Istanbul. Fatih's studio is located in a residential area in Galata, with quick and easy access to public transport and anything Istanbul has to offer. This area in particular is vibrant with bars and restaurants, although the studio is located at the end of the street, which means it is really quiet. There's a small grocer's in the same building (open till late at night). We stayed at Fatih's studio from May 27-31. We felt comfortable and safe at all times. In the evening you get children playing in the street, but if you mind the "noise", you can close the windows, which seem to be soundproof. The studio is every bit as shown in the pictures. This studio is good value, nice and clean. Recommended!
