Well I have been travelling to Istanbul regularly for the last few years and use airbnb all the time and can say with ease that Olcay's place is definitely one of the best places I've stayed at. Very clean and modern design, very central so close to istiklal street/ taksim square, close to bars/restaurants. Perfect location in my eyes, one thing to bare in mind about the place is that it's on the third floor and there is no elevator, however Olcay was very helpful in carrying our bags up the stairs. One more thing to mention is that the hot water runs out fairly quickly so if there are more than one of you in the property wanting to shower, the second person may have to wait a little bit for the water to heat up again or may risk the water going cold half way through. But the water heats up quickly so not much time to wait. All in all definitely a great place to stay and can easily recommend to anyone. Thanks for having us Olcay!
