Zehra's flat is a beautifully decorated and very conveniently located base for a visit to Istanbul. It's just minutes from the Galata Tower, the Galata Bridge and Karakoy metro station. We loved the styling of the flat and found it very comfortable for two people for a week's stay, and good value for money.
There's street noise in the mornings and some cigarette smoke smells wafting in through the windows, but I imagine that's the same throughout the city - just bring some earplugs and you'll be fine!
The rooftop terrace is lovely - it was a bit cold to use it much in March but the views were incredible.
The kitchen is basic and not extensively stocked - there was no cooking oil or condiments or spices so to cook a meal we had to buy literally every ingredient (whereas in my experience most Airbnbs provide the basics) which rendered our plans to cook for ourselves a bit pointless.
There also wasn't a hairdryer, contrary to the listing. Otherwise this is a comfy, spacious and airy flat that looks great and is perfectly located for an Istanbul adventure!
