Zehra’s place, cozy, warm, thoughtfully designed and tastefully decorated, is certainly one of the best to stay if you are visiting Istanbul, alone or as a couple. Perfectly placed, it is open to some nice vistas, has everything you might need, both inside and right outside (shops, local cafés, fancy coffee places and fine restaurants). Galata Tower is literally six minutes away, as well as most of the major attraction points of Beyoglu — definitely a great spot if you want to walk around the city and not worry about transportation to get back home. A very special thanks to Zehra, one of the most welcoming, helpful and friendly AirBNB hosts I’ve met so far. Five stars, strongly recommended!
