Suppose you are hesitant about booking. This is a sign for you to book right now!
First, let me say thank you, Engin, for sharing your home because as selfish as this sounds, I wouldn’t.
ENGIN was the most fantastic host that anyone could ask for. Due to a health/safety concern from my previous Airbnb, ENGIN accommodated me with welcome arms and arranged transportation. He even helped me with my luggage!
I don’t want to write this review since this place is a hidden gem, and I am afraid that the next time I book, it will be taken. The view is incredible, and the location is phenomenal and family-oriented. You see kids playing everywhere, locals sitting outside sipping tea, and Shops within walking distance. All the best bars are a 10min walk, and the bus station is a 5 min walk. It can be a bit scary staying in a foreign country, but this Airbnb brings so much comfort you won’t regret taking a trip to Istanbul.
There are stairs that you have to take, but the views are worth it. Yes! Not one but two amazing views are something that you will cherish every morning and night.

I wouldn’t call this Airbnb. This is my home every time I travel to Istanbul. :)
