This was a great experience. We were two couples/families who came to Istanbul for the biennial and Esra’s place was a wonderful place to explore the city. The apartment is as lovely as the photos and heads off to Esra for seeing the potential in a run down building and respecting the original architecture. Several points that might be useful:
- the kitchen is filled with good equipment and apartment is lovely, so we had meals in the apartment. This is rare in many Airbnb places where kitchen conditions are primitive, so we were happy.
-wifi worked well, so we were able to work, too.
-The apartment is on the fourth floor but the stairs are beautiful, not dark and narrow. So if you pack light, it should not be too much of a problem.
- the building is a bit run down and shabby looking, but it is both safe and secure.
-the apartment is filled with thoughtful touches and sparkling clean...
In short, we loved it!
