Overall happy with this apartment.

The area is not as touristy or developed as other parts of Beyoglu, but it is only about 7 minutes walk to Istiklal Caddesi (the main shopping street with lots of bars, cafes and restaurants nearby). Be aware the walk is up quite a steep hill though.

There is a small supermarket nearby. The flat itself is spacious (for two people) and the bed is very comfy! The lighting though is modern style with low hanging lights and not so bright, particularly in the kitchen.

On Sundays they have a huge food market right outside the house. This is fun to explore but, be warned, it will be very noisy from 6am to 9pm.

The flat is managed by a local lettings agency, who are very responsive if you need anything. The only downside was that there was nobody there when we arrived at the check in time (despite arranging it all before), so we had to hang around outside with our bags for 20 minutes.

This was our first time on AirBnB so we have nothing to compare it with, but overall we are happy.
