This was the first time we booked a place through airbnb.. we were a bit apprehensive at first, but we read all the great reviews and decided to book Barbaros's place.. it was the best decision. Barbaros is very helpful, friendly and the best host. He was quick to help with any problems we had, gave us suggestion on what to do etc. The place is perfect and sparkling clean.. exactly like the pics.. his restaurant is one of the best spot in istanbul.. i would definitely recommend this to anyone who is planning to come.. and would definitely come back here. The staff is very friendly and really helpful too. All in all one of the best place to stay in Istanbul.
