Definite excellent value for money! First experience with AirBnB, and it could hardly have been better. We met in Istanbul for some family time and this house was perfect. We had much space, it was warm, comfortable and fully equipped. We had more than we needed! It did feel like a family home more than a place advertised for pure commercial purposes. And in the warmer season, the terrace must be a definite luxury, which we could not enjoy much in December.

Being on the Anatolian side of the city, we had to take the metro and/or the ferry to go to most touristic sites, which made us spend time in public transports everyday. Not everyone may enjoy this, but for us it was not a problem at all. It was also a way to experience Istanbul everyday life, and the Goztepe metro station is just 5 minute walk so the commuting was smooth. And it was nice to spend so much time on the ferry! The landlord is also a gem. He was very responsive, kind and available. He helped us in all possible ways and was a wonderful person to meet, beyond the AirBnb experience. Caner, thank you for your kindness! (ps: We actually thought that the place looked better in reality than on the photos)
