This is one of the kind in airbnb amazing places offers. For Your money Your get million dollar view over Bosporus, very nice owner, pretty good matrass on bed with quality linen, overall nice decors (including Salvador Dali paintings ;) ), really one of the best quiet neighborhood in central Istanbul with great restaurants and coffeeshops, but in other hand its just 5 min pleasant walk from Taksim square. Yes, apartment would be pleased with some refurbishment (especially please fix cracked tiles over shower! Its scares us so much, because if one of them falls on someone head when he taking shower, it definitely kills him) . All over are great and this place is worth every penny!
