Overall this Airbnb was a FANTASTIC VALUE. Small downsides were getting there at night in the empty streets was a bit scary and the housekeeper didn’t speak English, but we still managed, and the Airbnb smelled of mothballs—that was minor though. The location is prime! Right in the middle of Old Istanbul beside busy street markets and everything you need. The view makes this simple Airbnb phenomenal. You can see the Martyrs Bridge light up at night, the Bospherus Straight, a few mosques in the distance, Galata tower, and there’s even a mineret right outside the window. Really had a great stay here. Best food we found was two door down, checking out (Nevzat Usta Adana Kebab Ve Kilo İle Mangal). If you want the real Istanbul experience right at your doorstep, this Airbnb is it.
